You can go for LED lighting. Abhishek from Rohini using only LEDs in his five footer marine tank. Result is amazing. You have to go to Lajpat Rai Market to buy those LEDs and driver. I have also bring some 3 watt Royal blue and white LEDs.

I run the following tubes on my tank

4x 12000k 2 foot neon tubes

The tubes are suctioned cupped to a 40" strip of glass that is held up in place by clothline clips.
