70 watt MH...

So I've found this...
http://cgi.ebay.ca/3-70watt-Metal-Halide-F-Can-Ballasts-M85-HQI-120-277v_W0QQitemZ120429037585QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_0?hash=item1c0a214811&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1215|240%3A13 18|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50
and I'm considering bidding on them. What I would do is mod a halogen worklight and put it over my 10 gallon.

The question is, how limiting is this going to be in terms of what I can keep? I figure that I should have enough light for macros and LPS, maybe a clam, but I'm not sure... any thoughts?

Nano-reef.com has lots of threads about 70w, some with pictures.

So, further to this, anyone know where I can acquire 70 watt MH bulbs? Ocean Aquatics has one on their website, a 15K Current bulb... but that's the only one I've found so far.
