    New Metal Halide Bulb - Inside is pink?

    I just got a new bulb from Fosters and Smith, an Aqualight 150 watt 20k. Inside has a pinkish and grey film on part of it. Is this normal or should it be totally clear inside?

    Basic questions on metal halides

    I have a a narrow hex tank that only allows for a 20" max light. I have a glass top on the tank, can a pendant light be set directly on the glass? Do they get as hot as other halides, would it make the tank too hot? I know they make clamp on lights but I don't have room because of a hang on...
