Well I see what your saying but why would anyone buy anything that gets too hot to keep anything in. That just doesnt make sense. Im wondering if Matt is on to something with the pumps being old and heating up too much. The biocube doesnt have MH and its heating up too much as well.

1. Metal halide
2. Pumps heating up 3. Closed canopy 4. Fans not doing its job 5. Less than adequate evaporation 6. Less surface aeration

All of the biocubes that I had were just fine out of the box. I even did a MH retro into a BC29, and it was totally fine on its own.
Whats your house thermostat set at? Two things I would do: 1. Make a small gap inbetween your canopy and tank. This allows airflow onto the surface of the water 2. Upgrade your fans To tell you the truth, I instantly upgraded the fans when I bought my biocubes. I found them noisey anyways. Theres lots of threads on fan upgrades out there. www.nano-reef.com has an excellent biocube resource section that you could look at as well.

Also check the direction of the fans. I believe 1 should be blowing into the tank and the other bowing out. You might want to flip them around in difference combos to see if that helps
