I know, I know its been asked before but everything I search for seems to be missing????


Fans blowing in or out? Blowing in on the water or blowing out to pull it out?

Corner stand so sides are aginst the wall adn not sticking fans in the front so they are going on the top.

LOL :lol

I have two 120mm fans in my canopy. One blows in air and the other exhausts air on the opposite side, by the halide light. Works great that way ;)

I have a notched rear for equipment and whatnot in the back of the canopy. Air can escape through there I suppose but I am going with the computer method. Suck in Blow out.

all fans in is the best as long as the air can escape as fast as it is drawn in. If not then put one blowing out. The one blowing out will be wasted if you have enough ventilation to exhaust the air though.

for those of you using computer fans....what are you using to power them?

Most power supplies in computers now days won't come on without the motherboard.

You can make them work by shorting the green wire with any of the black wires. This is just what the power button is doing.

We used to test them outside of computers by stiking a paperclip into the socket, green hole and any of the black. Cutting the connector and shorting the wires will have the same effect.

Ya....I read a lot on the internet about that and then looked at my power supply and it didn't have a green wire. it is the PSON position that you connect depending on the maker it is in different places.

got it working though, thanks!!!!!
