I'm thinking I want to get rid of my traditional wood hood and go with so kind of more modern fixture. My theory is that the hood is just holding in way my more heat than an open top would. I run a chiller but......... I think it would run less with an open system.
I'm looking of some suggestions currently I'm running 2 -250W MH 10,000K and 4- 48"VHOs. If anyone has any thoughts or experience I'd love to read it.

Yes open topped tanks typically retain less heat from the lighting.
