[QUOTE="Eighth Eye Blind, post: 240756, member: 49683"] FYI, if you really feel like building it out here's what we use in the lab to ventilate small enclosures: [URL unfurl="false"]https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Cooling-Blades-Bearing-NF-A4x10/dp/B009NQLT0M/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20[/URL] [URL unfurl="false"]https://www.amazon.com/ELUTENG-Dustproof-Ventilator-Compatible-Filtering/dp/B075Q6FTMR/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20[/URL] [URL unfurl="false"]https://www.amazon.com/Gebildet-Formed-Sleeve-Adapter-Connector/dp/B09HGLN7CX/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20[/URL] Add a standard USB charger or some other power source et voilà, a gentle jungle breeze to keep the air fresh and clean for your T. The Noctua fan moves way more air than you'll ever need and is pretty much dead quiet. It's a little pricey but it's top quality and super low noise/vibration. You get what you pay for with that brand. It also comes with a speed reducer that will cut the airflow and make it even quieter if you want. (We do use the speed reducer for anything less than 50gal/200L but your mileage will vary depending on your setup.) The brand of the other items doesn't matter at all.
