fans in the hood?
Hi all, Thanks in advance!
I wanted to mount two CPU fans on the sides of my hood. Say my fan is 4"X4" by 1" deep, should I cut the holes in the side of my tank that exact size and sit the fan entirely in the hole or should I cut the hole smaller than the total fan size and screw it into the inside of my hood? Also, my bottom area of my stand has a back on it and cabinet doors on the front, and the top is sealed. Is this not enough ventilation to prevent rot?

I think it's easier to cut a 4" hole and mount the fan inside to the frame.
It makes removal easier, fabricating the hole easier, looks better from the outside, and you can isolate the fan with rubber grommets so the vibration does not transfer to the hood and resonate. |

The holes in my canopy are circular and the fans are screwed in side. On the outside, there are plastic fan guards with mesh inserts that make it look good and keep dust from getting sucked inside the canopy.

Abominable Reefer:
If you screw them in the inside will there be a lot of vibratory noise? How many cfm and dB do you have per fan?
