maybe put some kind of spacing between your lid and your tank. to let the air flow to help control your temp.
just to see if it helps.
it could be your return pump. getting old and heating up more. i would also try cleaning them to see if that helps.

Well I see what your saying but why would anyone buy anything that gets too hot to keep anything in. That just doesnt make sense. Im wondering if Matt is on to something with the pumps being old and heating up too much. The biocube doesnt have MH and its heating up too much as well.

Don't forget to plug your heater back for the night.

1. Metal halide
2. Pumps heating up
3. Closed canopy
4. Fans not doing its job
5. Less than adequate evaporation
6. Less surface aeration

Theres nothing in it yet so heat doesnt matter. Has anyone bought either of these brand new? Do they over heat right out of the box?
