Any advice on how to keep the temp down on a 24 gallon nano-cube? I have had the lights on for 3 hours and the temp is up to 82 degrees. It is normally around 78-79. thanks in advance.

I agree with Matt on a fan. You can buy a pc fan with 4 Blue LEDs and modify the LEDs to have moonlighting. Blue LED pc fans cost about $5-$6 dollars at Fry's.

I have a 12 gallon nano cube and what helped me tremondously was changing out the stock pump for another pump...it also runs a lot quieter too.
 
thanks for the advice, which pump would you recommend for a 24 gallon nano-cube? should i also keep the front part of the lid raised when the light is on?

A maxijet 1200 will fit into the hole in the nano cube. Flow rate of 297 GPH. also add a lockline dual nozzle for dual flows. Have you cleaned your sponge, that will cause the pump to work harder and create more heat.
