Well I don't have any fans on my lights. I prefer to deal with the heat in my sump in the basement, seems easier to me. So all I would have in there is just lights, no ballast or anything. That is another reason I would like a little air movement in there, that and I am strong believer in keeping fresh air circulating over the surface of the water at all times.

I was picturing some sort of pipe, either a pce of PVC with a little 12 volt computer fan built in line or a inline duct fan but I think that would over kill. One computer fan should do it. I don't think it will take much but that is the reason for this post, I really don't know for sure.

i cant see it needing more power than that. also not sure but angleing the pipe may help warmer humid air "UP AND OUT?"
