Just some random thoughts:
If the 55 is up high, then it can be hard to handle your tegu because you are swooping in like a bird every time you go to pick him up. But like HM said, they grow quickly and the size is an advantage. I think a 160 PowerSun is going to be too much for a 30, but may be OK for a 55. It really just depends on the room temps and how hot the basking area gets. A 100 may be too much for a regular 30 gal long. I used a 100 in a 40 breeder and it was fine, but that tank size is wider than a standard 30.
I like the Power Suns. If you have a stable fixture then they work well. I have one fixture that has been giving me issues and I think it made my 160 burn out. I don't know though because my 100 is working fine in there. At any rate, there is a warranty and it will be replaced for me. Overall, I have been satisfied. I really would like to get the MegaRay, they are the best on the market.
