I have a 175 mh setup, mogul with parabolic reflector, mag ballast. I had this setup on a past tank(29g). I like the colour and growth, but hated the heat, evaporation, and fan noise.

I've setup a 20 gallon bb tank with a 20 gallon sump. Will the t5 setup with 4 bulbs do the job? What will the heat be like? Will I have to run fans to keep the bulbs from heating the water.(open top).
