MH lighting suggestions

I'm looking to purchase a MH light for my nano. I currently have a 10 gallon and will eventually move up to either a 20 long or a 30 cube, so the lighting that is recommended to me has to be suitable for either of those tanks. The unit has to sit on the tank as hanging it is not an option. I would like something along the lines of a 14K bulb with an actinic and LED moonlights.
I will be keeping mainly zoos, rics, 'shrooms, a few LPS and I definitely want a clam (or two!). I plan to purchase the light along with a chiller suited for a nano tank (more research!)
I'd appreciate any suggestions with this that fit my criteria.

Thanks to all in advance.
 
I just purchased a current sunpod 150w hqi ( fixture is 30" lg) from Marine Depot for $289. I love it so far. It has 6 blue and 6 white leds and you can turn the white and blues on seperate. I'm not sure of the lengths of those tanks but I'm sure they'll have the one you need.
 
The 150w Sunpod comes in a few diff lengths. It doesnt have the actinic you want but its alot cheaper than an OuterOrbit setup ... I cant wait to get mine - being delivered today!
 
Thanks for the reply.

The other question I have is that I might want to just go for a 20K light which I know has a more blue hue to it. If this is the case, will I still need/want to have the actinics as part of my light system? I understand that they can be used as dusk/dawn lighting, but I figure that if the system I get has moonlight LEDs that I can use those for dusk/dawn lighting. Any thoughts?

Thakns again.
