Compact Fan in Canopy?

[GeoHawk]

I am picking up a RKL, and would like to run a fan in my canopy to better control temperature. I really want a compact fan that is easy to install. Any ideas?

Are you wanting to wire one up yourself or have one that is ready to go?

Any pc fan will do.. I have a bunch of little 110v fans that would just plug in.. There like 1.5" thick and 4" square.. You can prolly pick them up at any electronic store...

I would just like to buy it and plug it in. do the pc fans just plug into a socket?

You can get a fan that just has a DC plug and then use your RKL to control it.

most pc fans are 12v so no.... you want something like these.. just make sure there 115v or 110 whatever haha.. you might have to put a plug on it your self thou..

Is it difficult to put a plug on it? The only thing I have ever done electrical was hook up my T5 kit in my canopy, and it wasn't to hard.

Nah very simple cut the female end off a extension cord and put 2 crimp on connecters on or solder the wires on... Just use a cheap cord no biggie...

What about using a clip on fan and putting in the sump? I don't have a lot of space in the sump, but this seems like it might be a bit easier.
