I have a 28 nano hqi I had heating issues as well. I went to canadian tire and bought a small desktop fan and mounted it on the wall to blow into the back of the tank that is open and now im at a steady 76.5 degrees. I have it plugged into the power bar to come on only when the metal hallides are on. The fan was ten dollars and is very quite. Now im not stressed out lol. If your tank is open in the back like this one it should work great. if not you may want to turn the fans in the canopy around.

This thread is from last year guys, thx though, hehe. I don't worry about heat in the BC anymore, nothing in there really. We have AC in the bedroom, so if it is warm I just open the lid a bit. I did look into the nanotuners last yr but with all the expense of the nifty things they have there I was better off just going with a bigger tank, so I did. I did the same thing with a fan as spanky there and have a fan on my 48g rigged to turn on when the 10k's go on-- works nicely. I saw some nice little tiny metal fans at wal-mart a bit ago. Think I might pick one up to run over the sump--when I get a sump.
