Holy Cow,
Went home yesterday from being away from my tank. The temerature was 84 degrees. Only have a few bettas in there now but man the halide put the water temp up that high. I now how you all feel now. Do you think that one 175 watt halide will heat a 90 gallon up that high. I mean i am going to put fans on the hood but i need to know if i should put some extras on there.

A couple of fans should go along way, but it'll depend on several things beside the lights, the house temp, how many power heads, pumps, evaporation, etc. Just keep an eye on it and be prepared to experiment with more fans if temp gets too high.
