Wow, can't believe no one has replied to this... your lights are what is cranking up the heat and a fan directed on water flowing into the filter should cool it down significantly. What kind of cube do you have? JBJ, Oceanic, Red Sea? I have built fans for both the JBJ and the Oceanic cubes and can give you some more detail if you haven't solved this.

sorry i took so long it was my pump
i changed pumps
my temp now 76 to 78 my old pump was getting luke warm

The pump was doing it!?

I have a Resun 29 & it runs warm too.
It has a small fan on the T5s that doesn't seem to do much.
I replaced the pump with a Tunze.

I'm thinking about tossing the hood & replacing it
with LEDs or some other type of raised up fixture
so that there is better air circulation.

Any other suggestions???
