Default Installed some fans

well i went down to radioshack and picked up a couple AC fans, they push 65 Cu/Ft each and run at 38 decibles .. so you can barly hear them.

I cut a hole in the top of my stand and mounted a fan there that pushes air down into the stand over the lights and onto the surface of the water. her is a couple pics of that one.




the second one is high up in the riser part of the cabnet and it is to pull hot air out of the cabnet.. heres the pic


I plant on installing one more fan pushing into the stand above the other end of the light rack yet, and I still have a bunch of sealing to do to help creat a directional air flow through the stand. Once this is done the top fan that pulls air out will run all the time and the other two will be staged to come on when the MH is on or when it gets to a preset temp.
