    Definietly leave the glass tops off. Glass kills off too much light and it can affect your coral colors. And they will trap heat from the lights behind them, making it like an oven in there. Be sure to blow your fans into the canopy and avoid blowing them right on the light bulbs themselves. This will avoid a spectral shift and premature decay of the quality of the light.

    I'm using 2 400 watt MH with 2 110 VHO and don't use a chiller, just one clip on Wal-Mart fan on my 75 gallon. Temp doesn't get about 84, lights are about 10 inches above actual water line.

    Alsok welcom to MAAST.
