I forgot to mention, the Orion fans came within 3 or 4 days. I was amazed how fast they arrived for MO from the U.S.

29 is probably about as warm as I personally would like my tanks to get, 29 in and of itself doesn't worry me, but it's right at the threshold -- any warmer and I'm worried. I should mention I have had swings that the tank got warmer and most things were able to weather that ... except for the clams.

You could also just take a wee clip-on desk fan and blow it onto your sump's water surface, this will increase evaporation obviously, but it works amazingly to keep temps from getting too warm. Something to try if the temp is getting a little too far up for your liking.

BTW, the hood looks VERY nice.
