Never gets above 87. usually about 85-83.
Fan right over them to strengthen stems and circulate air and an intake and exhaust fan.
The exhaust fan even pulls air right off the light housing.
Heres the pics. Last pic is older, but gives you an idea with the fan and all. No pics of the reflective stuff set up.

Your trippin... those are healthy, happy seedlings... keep doing what your doing... and if you plan to finish them indoors, you are going to need to do something about heat, and ADDing more light. Fluorescent lights are good to keep heat down,
