Metal Halide ?

[elvictre]

I was wondering if anyone can help me in adding a Metal Halide Light to my tank (I a newbee at this stuff) I curently have a fluorescent 2 bulb fixture. I changed the bulbs to a Marine Glo and a Power Glo. I know that this is not nearly enough light for my anemone to survive (thanks to Thomas 712). So what I was looking to do was to add a Metal Halide Fixture to my tank while keeping my current lights as well. I found a couple of retrofit systems that look good but it doesn't say anything about having both lighting systems working together. I am also wondering how hot the MH lights get? I have an Oceanic Systems 75 gal tank with the wood canopy, I don't want to overheat the area under the canopy or overheat my water. Can anyone give me some advice.
Thanks
Vic

for year, you can put several fans in the hood, this will draw air out of the hood, it will be much warmer than the air outside of the hood, thus cooling it. the heat will also cause more evaporate, and results in a more stable temp. it's like sweating, when you sweat, the hot sweat cools your body when it evaporates.
