What do think of this light on an Elos Mini:

150W Coralife Clamp-on Metal Halide (http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_AquariumPage~PageAlias~lighting_metal_halide_coralife_aqualight_advanced.html)

Will heat be too much of an issue?

I really would like to keep an Anemone and I think the E-Lite will not be quite enough...

We have numerous clients keeping BTAs in Minis with the Elite... it is more than enough...

That and I would never suggest a lamp prone to being a fire hazard for any aquarium.

I had not heard that before about this particular clamp on light - any references to this issue?

Just 2 client's tanks... thats enough that I don't recommend them.
