Need advice on 12 gal nano cube lighting

Looks great. Any issues with heat from the MH? I ask because I have had a similar setup going with a 14g biocube and coralife 150w MH pendant, and heat has always been a problem. I've currently got a clip on fan directed sort of halfway between the pendant and the water surface, and it works but causes a lot of evaporation.

Not really. It's next to an air vent and a huge ceiling fan and I think it's OK. I actually need to get a little heater since my temp swings quite a bit especially at night.
