MH and Heat - turning my tank into soup cooking pot?

[andsoitgoes]

Thanks again for all the replies.

I think the photoperiod is another issue I've been running with - I know at times I was pushing way more than that, now I'm down to between 4 and 6 hours. I turned them on about 5:30 today and 1.5 hours later, the tank temp is still reasonable. Still have the fan going and the window wide open, but that's something.

I also think there's something to be said about the 10k bulbs - and seeing as I was planning on changing once this bulb goes out, which will be soon, I'll be in a much better position to see the difference.

I think AC, sump, and fans will make the difference this summer. Let's hope.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions, keep 'em coming!
