Light heating problem

[lamby]

Ok my canopy light seems to be heating my tank up to much. Even when open every one has said add a fan i thought Why not remove the orignal lighting and add leds to where the light was housed. Im guessing is a common problem for small marine set ups, the tanks awsome when it comes to parameters its always super stable but Im fighting an up hill battle keeping my temp stable.

Doing the led should help lower the temp from the light. Also put some holes in the backside of the canapy to let out the heat and add fans. You can also try moving the light as high.as you.can get

You may end up with salt creep that is why the glass is there and salt creed can damage electronics

Is the glass on the light its self or the glass on top of the tank? If your talking about glass on the light you should probably leave it.

I took it off light was only $30 so its no biggy if it die's and my power board has a override switch for each point so if wont turn off anything but the light I think I payed $150 for my power board
