I should have clarified. I can *see* the media, it is either the right 
color but too dense if I set the scattering to <0.2,0.4,1.0>, or it is 
properly dense but too dark. There seems to be no way to set the density 
independently of the color.

I can't scale the container object because the container object is 
already the correct size to begin with. Scaling it any further would 
make it the wrong size.
