 ...yeah it does run hot! I bought mine from hellolights...they had the cheapest prices around. Bbut word of warning, the light and ballast runs really hot and since you have a really small tank...you might have to mod it by flipping the spine around so the light sits right above your tank and not too forward (ugly looking) . They have a thread on nano-reef.com that explains how to do it. Weigh the odds before you buy it...its quite a big amount of money...especially for a college kid (like me)! | |||||||||||||||||||||||

it is a good light for my 15. the only problem is that it heats up such a small tank very quickly. i had a little incident with the heater being on and the light, and i came home and my tank was 92, so far i have lost 2 sps becaus of it, and my rainbow frogspawn is not happy at all. i may lose that too, so word of warning, run an additional fan if the heat in your room is high
