I am about to build a new canopy for my T5 lights. The tank is 36" long and 15" wide.
I think I will build the canopy about 5"-7" high. I was wondering what kind of fans (and where to get them) I should put in there. I will put 2 and I want them to be as quiet as possible.
I also wanted some suggestion for moonlights. I don't want anything fancy or difficult. I just want a dim blue light.
I don't think I will be able to mount the ballasts in the canopy because of space. I might be able to mount them on the side panels of the canopy but i'm not sure yet. Either way, is there anything out side of the obvious I should consider. I will have shrink wrap, extra length of wire for the hood opening. Is one way better than the other?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
