any suggestions?

you can go fish shop to get a mini clip on fan, for sundews, T5 heat dont do much harm and can have the light spectrum penatrate more distance then T8. With fan blowing at the top of the tank, it can cool down abit on the lights, and draw air out of the tank. E-ballast produce less heat then normal magnetic -ballast, and the lights produced will be more stable. T5 light tubes with indivdual reflextor, you can get more lights intensity out of lights per tube, furthermore, you can add more tubes onto one tank. For T5HO 2 feet is 24watt.
Hope this clear any dou
