    FINALY!!! No more overheating!! I installed those 2 fans in the sides both blowing cool air into the canopy and now the temp stays around 80.5 - 80.8 all day and at night it stays around 79.0 so im happy with it , the only thing I hate is that the last 2 fans I bought are louder than I would like and it annoys the hell outa me but... atleast my tank temp is stable now.

    That would help. more exchange with air, plus you can put a fan over it.[/quote]
    Hey Fishez,
    I don't know if you ever answered if ya have a sump?
    If you do then put a clip fan directly over the sump as Matt suggested. If you don't then I strongly reccomend you get one and put a fan over it as Matt suggested. [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]You can also hide equipment such as skimmers and heaters. How hot does the tank room get in the summer? If it becomes too much of a battle you might consider a chiller.Just something to think about.
