Cooling fan recommendation

[MounteeFrag]

I finally am able to put my skins on my stand. It raises my temp upto 80.5. What would be some recommendations on cooling fans? I currently have a clip on fan blowing on the water in the sump so it helps but was thinking about venting the stand with a cooling fan.

I think rapidled.com has a fan kit that uses computer fans..

Yea, I just used 4 cpu 12vdc cooling fans attached to my canopy.

What size? How much cfm?

I have one 120mm(4") low speed Vantec Stealth computer fan in each end of my 100G fully enclosed canopy, each blowing in with equal sized exit holes in the roof of the canopy placed towards the center and over the reflectors/fixtures so the air has to travel up and over the lights and carry the heat out. They are powered by variable voltage DC power supplies (wall warts) like you use to charge cell phones or DC appliances. The variable voltage allows me to vary the speed accordin to the cooling needs. Each Vantec moves 53 CFM so I get about 10 air changes a minute inside the canopy at 12v and they are very quiet due to the low speed.

I just ordered 2 off of ebay. I'm going to put them in my stand.
