Thank you all for the great information. JFK, I have been performing some of the things that you had listed (such as keeping the cabinet doors open as much as possible and having a good water movement in the tank). The temperature in the tank is between 78-81 degrees during the entire day. The light fixture (fan cooled) sits on top of the tank (approximately 5" above the water line). The top of the tank is open, and there is no canopy. If I place a fan in the cabinet area near the sump, how much if any will it help to control the water temperature? I am not sure how much warmer the tank will get as the weather warms up, but I just wanted to learn as much as I could ahead of time. Thanks again guys for the help.
