I use this black and decker fan. Leave the base off and its 3ft long x 6", fits under the canopy laying on its side. Blows across the entire water surface. 3 speeds with timer (.5 to 7.5 hrs).
Works perfectly and should fit under most MH canopies.

I heard of a guy who had a small fridge, you know one of those little dorm frides, and he ran a line from his tank that went into the fridge through a bunch of coiled up tube and then back into his tank. Neet idea but I have not had to worry about it my tank is in the family room in the basemnent and it stays at 76-78 with the AC on. I have also heard that having a sump that uses the flex tubing with ridges helps to cool the water as it goes into the sump.. Good luck,
Erik
