Hi,
I was interested in purchasing a:

Nova Extreme T5HO : 36" - 156 Watts - (2x39 Watt 10K Daylight + 2x39 Watt Freshwater Bulbs) By Current USA

The manual says it is not designed to be used under a canopy. Could I get away with this if I keep the back of the canopy open and use a small fan to ventilate the canopy?

If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks in advance,

amackattack

What size tank are you going to be putting this light on. If it is longer than the light, giving the light room to breath then you might be safe.

The tank is a bit over 36" and the light is 36" as well. I was thinking that venting it near the light would take care of it...maybe.
