Looking to get a nice ripple effect going on my new 4x2x1 tank. It's got really really robust water flow and surface agitation, so I think I've got that part of the equation covered.
I was thinking I'd probably want a powerful, single-point (or small area) light fairly high above the water. Would angling it off to the side make the effect more pronounced, or dead center above?
So far the nicest solution under like $500 I've seen is:

What I like about this is that it's small and powerful-seeming, and they sell a version that's pre-configured to 6500k "Amazon sun" and this will be a tank with SA fish in it. Also think the pink/white color will look nice with the reddish garnet sand I have in there.
Would this thing need a power supply as well? If so, what kind? I'm very noob to LED lighting, only done whole mounted simple units before.
Of course if somebody has a significantly cheaper solution, I'm open to that as well!
Thanks!
