Want to add more light

I have a current dual satellite (194 wtotal) and it is pretty good, but would like to also add an HQI pendant with it.

I am thinking about getting this one:

I have a couple of questions:
Does anyone know of any smaller HQI pendants? The 5.5inch diameter (the smaller the diameter the better) seems to be the smallest I have found so far. Which bulb should I get? My dual has a 10k(92w) and dual antics, I was thinking about getting a 14k for this one.

Thanks for any help!

Re: Want to add more light

I dont know about sizes but I havnt seen ones smaller than the pendents. The 14k will be bluer than a 10k it just depends on the color you want in your tank. If you want more of a bluer go with the 14k, also if you dont have antinic lights I would go with the 14 just to give the corals more of a different color.
