are you using it over a open tank or do you have the glass tops on, i am interested in it but have concerns over heat issues, so the unit is only a month old?

brandon0350 · 04/06/2007, 08:32 AM

yep only a month old. i have it inside a canopy.... so i think that was my whole overheating problem

if you are not running fans and its in your canopy that will be your only heat problem. if you get fans it will be fine..

or try just removing the lid from your canopy. that will work wonders
