    i got a small zip-lock bag full about a month ago and i would say it is double the size it was when i got it. It takes up about half of a 10g fuge right now.

    coralife makes a clamp on 150w clamp on tank HQI
    www.esuweb.com or can be bought for $239.00 at
    http://www.hellolights.com/aqadse.html
    Its called the Aqualight Advanced Series Hang On Tank Mount
    Check it out!  Looks like a great deal for a smaller tank or putting 2 on a larger tank.
    You can also check out www.aquatraders.com
    they carry inexpensive and probably poorly made MH fixtures. All I can say is you get what you pay for!
