Thermostatic fan control.

[Mole]

Anyone have an idea how to set one up in a canopy? My new tank has a canopy has two fans which are on 100% of the time. I'd like to set them up to be thermostatically controlled so they only run when necessary.

I have an idea but just want to make sure I'm thinking correctly. Thanks

Something like this: Amazon.com: Coolerguys Programmable Thermal Fan Controller with LED Display: Computers & Accessories Obviously there are more options out there.

Yeah, sort of like that. I have this one NZXT SEN-001LX Sentry LX Aluminum dual bay fan controller - Newegg.com running the fans on my computer. But, it's a computer and the controller runs at a lower voltage. I was thinking more of a furnace type switching controller. Something REALLY simple.
