i believe you will get vastly different answers if you ask a reefer vs if you ask a firefighter. I personally wouldn't do it as the MH lamps get extremely hot. Particularily a clamp-on stlye with (no fan?) i assume?

Just get a clamp on desk light with a 27w Phillips Daylight CFL bulb. That would be much cooler & cheaper to run, with good macrogrowing results.

agreed. i think the set-up that i did like that cost me maybe $12 for the fixture and maybe $10 for two 6500k cfl bulbs. compaired to the clip-on light which you may find for $100 used plus bulbs

Thanks Guys, Yeah I have a clip on light already but i probably need to change the cfl bulb as the chaeto does not seem to be growing in my sump. I just have the halide clip on kicking around and thought maybe i could use it.
