Look into the "Clip on" fans from any Lowes or Menards or Home Depot. They work very nice and are very quite!! I have 2 on my 220 with 3-400 watters and NO heat problems!! They are almost all plastic and you can clean them in the sink!! (Must dry out BEFORE plugging back in though!!) I'm very happy with mine and has lasted for almost 2yrs now!! I run mine on a timer so they only run when the MH come on!! They are 6" and the clip on clamp is very sturdy

I am with Dave... 3 x 400 watt halides and my tank never gets over 80. Just have 2 clip on fans controlled by an apex. I have a floating canopy and that helps some.

I have two 120mm compute rfans in my canopy and the above clip on over my sump and never get over 81 with 2x250w MH and 2x140w VHO in Phoenix, I sold my chiller they work so well. Just be prepared for evaporation, a ATO is almost a must.
