    lighting question (halide)

    The pendant will be going over my 55gal. The issue with being in the middle isn't a problem either I can slide the fixture foward. The major thing that i am worried about is the heating issue. I will have a big house fan blowing from the side and the room is airconditioned, will that help enough?
