32 smartpaq for new 6gallon nano?

[Yarrow]

I want to put a 32w 50/50 smartpaq light into my 6 gallon eclipse. It looks like it will fit but I am worried about the heat increasing too much. The ballast is located away from the light which should help out. This would give me 32w in a six gallon which I think will be enough to grow polyps/softies. Thanks.

Add a cooling fan if heat is an issue. I have a single 32wattPC light in the very front bowed section of a 16 gal bowfront, in a hood that allows the light to be mounted on 1" standoffs to9 keep it from being directly mounted flat on the hood top portion and unless I run additional cooling air on that 32 watt light the heat buildup is very noticeable. I just use a small 1.5" muffin fan and a duct made out of plexi to divert air over and around the lamp.

Thanks,
Do you have a picture? How did you mount the fan and plexi?
