Ok what size tank is this and are you referring to powercompact lights or regular lights?You should go metal halide honestly.
if you mean there isn't enough space in your existing hood you could always build a DIY canopy, cheap, easy and you'd be able to utilize all of your tank surface area for the lights.
unless your going to have a reef tank, you dont need metal halide lights. if you think you might someday upgrade to a reef, then go ahead and spend the bucks now. if you really dont want a reef, metal halides are wasted money.
