I was considering putting glass over my 125G to slow the evap rate. I have MH and PCs (with fans) about 6" above the tank. Any major concers regarding trapping too much heat in the tank?

If you have an open sump, you should be fine. If you don't, you will have a major heat increase, and not enough gas exchange.

I'll have an open sump under the tank, but the cabinet will be pretty much enclosed though. I may have to add a small fan to aid cooling.
