Thanks for all of your input guys. I did some thinking on the wattage, heat etc and my focus as turned to this item I found at J&L
Coralife AquaLight Pro Metal Halide HQI Clamp-On Pendant - 1 x 150W
It's height is somewhat adjustable, clamps on easy and you can add more if you chose. i could buy 3 of these bad boys for the price of a 250w MH & PC canopy by Hamilton or PFO.
One more question remains though.. Is the intensity and effectiveness of multiple lamps be different (better/not better) than one big lamp?
