Sump fan Ideas

[Jeffcb]

I am noticing heat in my sump with cabinet doors closed. There isn't room for a PC box fan in the opening on the back of the cabinet. Looking for a 9 or 12 volt fan that I can mount on the side cabinet wall that blows to the back wall were the cut out is.

Any ideas?

Rather than use a fan can you just vent by adding holes or slots high and low? You could use slated doors like the closets of old.

I use a few of these on my nano tanks. Keynice USB desk fan.

What is the typical ambient room temp where the tank is setup?
You could view this as a good thing if your room temp stays at or below 75*ish - possible lower the need for your heater to kick on, = less power = more money for corals!

Wiley Coyote Super genius here.

Got a Fan, power supply, rheostat on Amazon for 17 bucks. The only problem is it very noisy and I though it would be . I just wanted the pwr supply and controller. Going to get a Noctura fan know that I know it worked and solved the problem.

I keep my home at 77 during the day and 75 while asleep. Its an oven in the sump w fug light. The tank was going over 80 and sometimes near 81. I simple fan dropped the tank temp over 1 degree in 24 hours. Its chillin at 78.9 right now 24 hours after install. Get one.
