Anyone mounted fans to their Tek light?

I've had heat problems since I hooked up my Tek light. I have a stand fan blowing across the tank to keep it cool for now. I'd like to know what fans and how you're mounting them. Pics would be nice too.

TIA

No, but I am seriously considering doing so. My tank has been averaging about 82 degrees with the ambient air at around 76 or so. I have unplugged both heaters just to be sure, but yeah them T5's certainly throw off some heat.
