What are your tank dimensions? Looks pretty tall, 400w would be the way to go if it is 24"+, depending on dimensions.

You can install fans and vents in your hood to keep the temp down. And if you will be running a sump, you can put a fan over it for further cooling as well.

It was supposed to be 30" deep but the actual water deapth is more like 27"

It is a 35" radius tank (it is supposed to be 150 gal)

I think 2-400W would be just fine...or ask Dez...he had 2 - 400W bulbs on his 46G bow

I agree, I would do dual 400w on that baby then

Damn! How big of a chiller would you need to keep that from boiling?
