    I'll have 2 fans clamped to the back of the tank blowing on the MH.

    I did the same thing on my 120 when I had 2 x 250w MH and never needed a chiller. I'm suspecting with more water volume on this tank I also will not have a problem.

    I'm just wondering about the bulbs being too close to the water surface.

    FYI: We keep our AC at 74.

    One of my light is not that far from the surface. Just make sure to place the corals at lower location and move them up slowly.I also plug the fans to the same timer as the halides so they can come on together.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...
