Sure. You can retrofit them into a canopy (whatever kind your tank manufacturer makes, or something DIY), buy them in a pre-made canopy like what Hamilton sells (used to sell? Haven't seen them around in a while, not sure), or even get ones that have legs that stand off the tank, like this one http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_lig ... sp?CartId=

Right, they are not photosynthetic. They don't really entirely on the light to survive, much like your fish!

You might be able to keep some sofited with the 4x65 IMO. The 90 is a deep tank and MH's would be a much better choice.
Mike90":366vmwv8 said:thats crazy expensive. don't those give off a lot of heat and wont they heat up my tank a lot more? whare are the advantages of MH if i dont have corals or clams?
You dont need more light than you have for fish/snails. You can actually get less light and use normal output lights.
