It sounds like you're looking for one of these. Problem solved. Thank me later!

MH/T5 combo all the way baby. I can't feature paying 5x as much for a fixture that is almost as good as MH.

Even if you have to buy a chiller you're still looking at a cheaper option than LED...

I still had to run my chiller even with LED, so no savings there

I've decided to continue with LEDs in my mp10 controllers as I can't find a small enough halide bulb to fit ;)

That's probably 50% of the selling features for LED is that it runs so much cooler. If you have to buy a chiller anyway then what is the point?

This is what I observed over the summer as well. Not on my tank, obviously but lots of reports of people having to battle heat during this past summer, even with LEDs. It makes sense really. If your house is 30 degrees, well, your house is 30 degrees and LEDs aren't going to solve that problem.
