So since I am getting into coral soon I was going to get a better light meaning I’d need to buy a new cover. So for planning ahead for when I build the cover I wanted to know about the fan placement for building the cover, and I was going to go with the Red Sea one. I have a 24g aquatop cube, and plan on getting an Ai prime.

Here are my specific questions:

1) Do I really need a fan? I keep the tank at 77-78 normally, and in the summer it might get up to 80-82. Would this matter?

2) Since it’s an AIO do can I place it above the middle chamber if the dimensions allow for it (as shown below)? Also having it be somewhat efficient and not obscure the light’s arm mount?

3) would installation of a wave maker when I get one be enough to cool the tank enough?

4) will the fan work with my InkBird controller I use for my heater?

Sorry for the long post. I really appreciate the help

Thank you
