I have a 24 by 24 cube reef, I have been thinking about placing a 400 watt halide over it and just running my VHO for dawn & dust, Is the heat situation a problem for a tank that small? it would be about 10 " off the water.

If you set it up so that you can have fans pushing the heat from the halide out of the canopy, and your house dosnt get too hot you shouldnt have a problem. I have two 400s over my 75 with 3 radio shack fans and my house stays at 72, the tank stays around 80-81. The back of my canopy is also open which helps the heat to escape. HTH
