I had some initial heat issues, but Red Sea sent me an add-on cooling fan for the Max which just clips into a space previously occupied by a vent/face plate. Now it's been extremely stable at about 78-79.5. That fan sure did the trick, and is virtually silent while operating. I have it on a variable power adapter so that I can lower or increase the airflow as necessary. I'd set it up with a temperature controller, but seems like an expensive accessory for a $10 fan.
I'm very pleased with the 110 watt T5's. They seem very bright, and the built in timer makes the transtition between the daytime lighting and nighttime LED's hassle free.
I've heard that NanoTuners might be coming out with an upgraded lighting system for it, but I kind of like the T5's that are already on it. I also don't think that I would want to add any more flow, as it moves things around pretty good as it is. You know, so far I can't see anything that I think needs upgrading, though I know some people will want bigger and "better" lighting.
I think that's it's an interesting design, with a lot of potential. But I've only had this thing up and running for 3-weeks or so, and things can change very quickly in this hobby...
