Am I going to overheat or evaporate away?

[justinx]

Yeah, i really want a MH and PC combo for my 20H tank. I think that MH looks soooo much nicer than any flo. My plan was to put 1x175w 10,000 K with 2x13w actinc PC's. This will bring me up to a nice and toasty 10w/gal. But . . . . I have been told that i will over heat and evaporate away 2-3 gallons per day. The evaporation seems a little much, but IDK. Please help me!!!!! What would you do for a 20H?
Thank you everyone in advance!

I don't think it would be a problem. I have a 20 inch cube tank with a 175w MH and 2X36 watt PC actinic. It evaporates about a gallon a day with a fan blowing on it. Tank stays sround 77 at night and 80 during the day.

Maybe putting on a chiller would help with that. GOOD LUCK!!!!
