Hey all! thanks so much for the replies...I am ordering one from J&L tomorrow so I can ease my mind (and for peace of mind $64 is cheap!)

...changed pumps to a quieter one knowing that I may have a few more heat issues but it is much higher than I anticipated! Again...thanks!

ALSO-with the Ice Cap fan...if you have one....is it quiet or loud? as the volume is important!

There are some on e-bay as well 3" for 15.99, triple 3" 31.99. I don't know how loud they are but I was thinking about one for my projector.

Has anyone tried any of these?

I would just run the fan on a timer. Hell of a lot cheaper, and after about 2 days of tweaking, you could have it exactly how you need it. I run my fan alternating between 15 min on, 15 min off, with it about 30 min off every 45 min or so. Keeps it at a good temperature that way, and way cheaper than a $100+ temperature controller.

I just put my canopy fan on the same timer as my MHs.

Ok, I just cleaned all the dust out of my fans and they actually are silent.
