Yes, i have same tank as yours with 900W of light (2x 250W MH, and 4x 110W VHO).

Tank is going on 1 1/2 months up, temp has not gone higher than 79. i keep my ac around 75. I use 2 fans blowing in, and have another hole on top right next to the MH. I thought i might add another fan there but so far have not needed too; lets see come summer time.

These dayton fans are great but too loud (107 cfm, no Radio shack computer fan can do that), thats why, when i know in the summer whether a chiller will be necessary or not, ill decide on the best cooling methods for me.

Ok..cool. So I probobly wouldnt need to big a fan or fans to cool my 2 T5s and 2 VHOs down. The canopy is open in back, air just gets stagnant in there.

Don't know. My back is open also but it's up against the wall. Trial and error with regards to this is the approach um taking right now. Avoiding chiller. If I have to I will.

Got some gift certificates to a fish store in Lake Worth. Went and got some new additions to the tank. Here are some pics. My camera doesnt take very good pics though.
