Thanks everyone. Today I got home and it was 80 in the bc8. Yesterday I swapped the stock pump out for a mj900. Seemed to do the trick.(thanks Matt) Yesterday I cleaned the fans on the nc28, but the lights werent turned on today until I got home from work. So I will be monitoring these tanks closely. If all else fails I will either find an led kit for the hoods or just take the hoods off and get aftermarket lights for them.

Had the same problem with my bc14. after a year I gave up even after switching over to LED's. couldn't get the temp under 82. switched to an innovative 16 and I had to add a heater because it wouldn't go past 71.
The closed canopy is a huge issue, really creates a little oven. Unless your willing to add a chiller, I would look into something like a AI nano or something on those lines to get rid of the canopy.

I bought my NC28 HQI brand new and it was sold as a package with the chiller. I added a HOB skimmer and the chiller has to run throughout the night to cool off the heat added by the skimmer pump. With minimal equipment, LED lights, and a clip on fan blowing on the sump area, you might be able to keep the temps down. I would doubt you could do it with the HQI though without a chiller.
