I should have added that the graph is showing the significantly lower temps during the 3 day lights out for Cyano i am doing now.

Especially the halides. Is the swing causing you issues? You could set up a timer to run a clip-on fan to blow on the water surface during MH operation.

I have two clip on fans (one on each end) programmed to come on when the halides come on.

Like I did last summer, I am switching to 8 t5's till the fall, just delayed to long and all of a sudden it turned 90. I do have A/C

Why are you running the mh for so many hours? No need to run more than 5-6 hrs.
