    A different sort of MH light arrangement

    Good way to keep heat down, other than chiller?

    I'm just looking for a way to keep the heat down in my tank. The room is even heated from the tank.. The tank used to stay at the 78 degree mark, but it has now slowly gone up. Will some clip on fans by each Metal Halide (theres 3) work? I'm just looking for it to go down maybe 3-4 degrees.
