Metal Halides over a 10g Nano.
I've planned to down grade my 20g that currently has T-5's over it to a 10g when I go to college this fall. I'm going ahead and starting the tank but I want to put MH over it this time. I'm thinking about the 70w Viper HQI Clamp Lamp. Is this light a good product? I've read a lot of positive reviews but maybe you guys have different experiences. Thanks!

I had a 150 over my 10 gallon for a while. It would be a bit hot, especially in my dorm, where there is no AC. I do have a chiller for the tank though. I swtiched to a 4 bulb t5 unit. It's a tek and just hangs over the side. I get more PAR than I did with the halide, better color, and less shadows.
