    All metal halides get extremely hot. I have never tried this fixture but i am sure it will rack up some heat. Some metal halides are so hot they will give you third degree burns instantly. Watch out and be careful!

    fantastic honestly. I really wish i went with a 14000k bulb however though. I feel that the 10k is a bit too yellow.. Although it does look quite nice, not ur typical BLUE saltwater tank.. Ill post pics when i find my camera.
