Can someone refer a good canopy fan

As the title says does anyone know of good fans for a canopy. I’m looking for a slim 1-2” very quite fan ? Thank you in advance

I put one of these in the wall of my stand and it's on the same timer as my fuge light. It's a 120mm 120v fan and has been running for 10 hours a day for nearly two years without a single issue. It's relatively quiet and moves a decent amount of air. If I lick my fingertip and hover over the pass-through for my plumbing on the opposite end of the stand you can feel the air moving past. It's not a lot, but it is definitely keeping the sump vented and cooler as well. Something like this would probably work out well for venting the canopy.

I installed these in my canopy - I like the look, they are quite you can adjust speed, but only time will tell.....

This one is an AC Infinity S9 - they come in different sizes and configurations - you can find them on Amazon

Cougar Vortex PC case fans 140mm.

I use 2 x 120mm computer case fan screens on the left side of my pseudo canopy to keep jumpers in the tank, and a Noctua low flow 120mm computer case fan on the right end facing out. Fan runs 24/7, I never hear it and have to feel air output to ensure it's still running.
Fan has been running for nearly 8 years with regular cleaning.
I have fiberglass bug screen on the inside of the fan to keep fish from jumping into it.
Total cost was less than $60 with a 12v power supply.
