My Biocube 29 - Help

Well I have always had a bad understanding of flow patterns?

is it as simple as putting a large output style pump in one corner and that is it? Or multiple pumps all over?

I did another WC and siphoned all the Cyano out again. I moved some corals around and the Zoas are now adhered to the LR pretty good now.

I upgraded the lights to 4x36W. (1 10K, 1 50/50, 2 x Actinic)

I reaquascaped a little too.

My BC 29 was running at 76-78 degrees with the stock lights.

I upgraded to the 4 x 36 (144W) light kit with upgraded fans from Nanotuners. Now the tank is 84 Degrees after a few hours. The site says some had shown 1-2 degree decrease in temp but not here.

My house is ~70 degrees or cooler where the tank is.

This is not good and I am afraid I just wasted money and I can not roll back the changes after the light upgrade is installed(I can shut off 2 bulbs though).

I need the top on the tank so the kids dont throw stuff into it.

Any ideas? I really do not have the electric available to run a chiller either.

Would need a micro fan to fit under the hood and its still going to trap the heat.
