I am simply going to get a couple 12v fans from princess auto or something, get a battery charger and run them off that, and let the fixture hang about 12-14" over the tank. There will be a box around the rim of the tank likely extending up about 2-2.5ft, with a lid. The fixture will hang inside that, then one one side, there will be an input fan, and the other side, and output fan. I have this set-up on my 75g right now which has dual 400W halides, and that works just fine. I dont anticipate the water getting heated by the light at all. This system may get a sump in the future, but will not have one for now.
