| whats the best way to dissipate heat inside a tank hood using fans? have the fans pulling out out or pussing air in across the bulbs? i just shanged my lighting and now my tank is 4- 5 degrees warmer. i have 4 36w power compacts and 8 56w t5s. | |

| I don't think 4-5 degrees is really a big deal. | |

| normally i wouldnt think it is either but as its winter right now, im afraid of whats going to happen this summer. 80 isnt awefull but i would rather controll the temp with a heater and not lights. | |

| Probly best if ya blow the hot air out and pull fresh air in through vents, IMO.

| so i took the fans out and turned them around, so that they are blowing air across the surface of the tank and thats working very well.

| Glad it's working. Are the fans all at one end or are they split up at opposite ends? | |
