Is there an actual question tied to this post?. they are bright. they give off a ton of heat. they raise the electrical bill.

I find it very hard to read your posts without proper punctuation. It took me three tries before I understood what you were asking.

The answer is no, not very many people use them.

The question, basically, is whether anyone here uses them... Not complicated

Yikes. Tension running high here! For...uh...no apparent reason.

I don't have MH lighting, nor have I ever, but I would think that 1000w would run very hot, as someone mentioned above.

There was some rich guys tank someone posted on reef central who used them.
The tank was like 1000Gal and 5 feet deep or something.
So in that case they probably did'nt effect temp or evap much more then your average larger tank with 400's on it.
