    Fishez,

    If it doesn't cause you too much trouble I would definately try reversing the air flow to see if it helps :)

    It would also be interesting to see if you get a different temperature reading deeper in the tank and in a different position.

    Well? It's a reasonable question, isn't it? :)

    My two 4" fans blow left to right. One pulls cooler air in and the hotter air out. The back of my canopy is open as well for greater airflow.

    Its blowing right now "In more than one way" and I think im ganna turn it around so it will suck cool air in , becouse the temp is already 82.6. As long as it dosent hit 83 ill leave it alone but it aint lookin good.
