Default Help with heat

Hello this is BC-GRL's husband, Andy here
I am having a problem with heat !!!! The problems are in the morning our temp is at 78 F . The mh 400 watt bulbs come on around 1:00 pm . The lights go out at 10:30 pm. The temp is around 85.5 F by then. I have two fans blowing air on the lights 24/7.
What I need to know is how I can keep the temp from going so high . I told BC_Grl I need to add two more fans, she says I don't . All of the lighting systems I've seen on here are in series (one pointing at the other) ours are perpendicular. So I want to put the new fans in front of the bulbs (meaning the fans would be showing in the front of the canopy) blowing the air out of the canopy. I figure this would keep the temp. down .

If you have any sugestions, I would like to hear them . Thank you Andy
