Same situation here. I have dual 175 and vho actinics....since it's so hot the past months, I only turn on my VHO actinics for the past months. They'll be fine, nothing to worry about. Just curious, how high does your temperature goes up to? My temperature goes up to as high as 85, but after putting a huge fan under the tank and under the hood, it's currently 81. More fan on hood and under the tank would help.
