So I decided today to take on a project. The problem was that my tank was running about 77 degrees overnite and heated up to around 81 during the day (have a 70w HQI over my nanocube 12). Now, although 81 is not problematic, I am not a fan of the 4 degree temp swing. So, I decided to wire up one computer fan to run with the lighting.
All I did was wire up a 12v dc computer fan from radioshack (6.99) with a 12v ac adapter I had lying around (from an old internet router). I just stripped about 1/2 inch off the ends, twisted and electrical tied together, and used double sided tape to prop up the fan on the back of the tank.
So far so good! Set heater at about 77 and temp has stayed stable at about that (my thermometer sucks so its not very accurate).
Here's a pic
