Fans in Canopy

[Rebels23]

Just wondering if any of you DIY canopy guys can chime in on the types of fans you use for your canopies. I just purchased two 5" Orion fans. I hope I made a good purchase. Anyone? thx.

I guess as long as they are queit and fit in your canopy you'll be fine. I used to 3.5 inch fans purchased from Hellolights.com on one tank and I have plain fans purchased from RadioShack on my other tank...no problems with either.

Rebs,

Go to ebay and put this item number in the search line and check out this guys fans - 2331606608

I bought a set from him and they came in 2 days - I believe they are 3 inch fans but they are variable speed with heat probes all the wiring and the power pack - truly plug and play. I would say you'll spend close to $20 geting all the stuff yourself anyway, why not spring for the luxury at $30.30?

Let me know what you think. I am putting these in my new hood which will have a 175 MH and dual 96w PC's.

I think it's going to work awesome.

Thx Jim and House.

House, DOH!!!!!!! If only I asked earlier! Those seem like a great deal! I love plug and play. But I already purchased two 5" Orion fans. I'll get them next week. It's been pretty hot hasn't it??

Well, you could always sell those oprion fans as they are what a lot of guys look at - but this fit the bill for me best.

ANyhow, good luck with it, can't wait to see it fully running.

Rebs,

Check out the fan detail in my new DIY hood for my new 92 corner - sweet if you ask me - I am no carpenter, but that is going to look nice.

Anyhow, check out the galery and let me know what you think.

Hey House,

Looks real good! I should be getting my fans today hopefully. Can't wait to slap those suckers on. I envy your "plug-and-play" fans.....haha

My pleasure Vic. Glad you like em - yeah, I just don't get it - not sure why people brake their butts to make em when they are so darn cheap - but I guess cheap is a relative term.

Anyhow, glad you like em and hope to see you soon.

House I havent been able to pull up any of your snap shots in the gallery. Also what did you use inside your DIY cannapy for water proofing?

 

[House of Laughter]

Angel,

I deleted my pictures to get a better handle on the order of them so that you can look at just the canopy etc.

Should have them up before the end of the week.

I didn't waterproof my canopy, - didn't need to .
