Jim, I couldnt agree more.The idea of a tank with high,medium and low light critters is a mistake.Far more planning is required to keep from frying some and starving others.However this condition exists with all aquarium light forms,and there is no perfect light source for all levels.There may be a point at which low and medium light critters or medium and high light critters can be kept.but high and low light critter would be a mistake.
And yes metal halide will soon be a dead issue.Going the way of wash boards and caprpet beaters lol.
