    actually since you told me about the pendants that hang i think i might be able to hang some. How would i do it, just drill a hole and put it in my ceiling. what wattage should i get and how high should they be above my tank.

    The pendants are easy to hang especially if you get something like a Ocean Light which is very light weight. If I am right you would drill a small hole to push an anchor thru(there a bunch of differnt kinds, and you get plastic ones with them). Then depending on the anchor you either put a screw in it or some of them are metal and thet spring out on the other side and give you a hook. Or if you can find a rafter with a stud finder or something you could screw it right in there. I would get tewo of the 250 watt aquamedic ocean lights with 20K bulbs and you would be doing well. You can see them here Ocean Light and Ocean Light again

    yes .... not sure what the question is?

    On the CSL auction you pointed to CSL is nice stuff but they went out of business so there will not be any warranty I believe, and you would need two halides for a 4 foot tank.
