Help with pendant choice

[JohnstonAtoll]

I am building a 25" X 25" X 18"H cube. I intend to use it for coral propagation. I would like to put a pendant (square type) over it. I have a couple of questions though. What should I look for, a 250W DE, a dual 250W, 400W...? Does Luminarc carry pendants or just the reflector and if just reflector, what pendant will it fit into. I have been eyeballing the Hamilton 250W DE pendant and the IceCap pendant but the dimensions of them are detering me being 8-3/4" x 15" x 5" high for the IceCap and similar for the Hamilton. Are those dimensions good for a 25" X 25" cube? Or should I be looking for a pendant or 2 equaling close to the cube dimensions? Any other brands I should be looking at as well, I really dont want to spend huge $ on a pendant but can understand paying 2-300ish. Lastly, is there a thread out there that I am missing with a similar topic? Any help is greatly appreciated.

one 250W should be plenty over that size tank.

Luminarc has both the regular size 19.5 X 19.5 pendant and a mini pendant 14.4 X 14.5.

The luminarc pendant comes in black.

it does come in black but I have the SE version and on the Lumenarc they have that crazy looking piece that comes out the side to hold the bulb
