DIY canopy PC lighting

[Mark_Lide]

I just finshed putting my lighting system into my canopy and was wanting to put two PC fans on each end of the canopy. I would like to know what everyone is using 80mm or 120mm fans?

Thanks

So nobody has put a PC fan in their canopy to cool the lighting?

I have 2 of them! 80mm was plenty for me.



You can see more pictures in my "Documenting" thread.

Looks good, thanks for the reply

Thanks!

There really is no "rule" on fans though, you just use whatever you have to in order to keep the tank/light cool.

I ran the lights for a few hours the other day and I noticed that it was the lights getting hot not the ballasts. The lights are about 6" off of the water so I don't think it will be a problem.

I no longer use canopy over my tank but the last tank that I did have a canopy over I used a couple of the 80mm too
