    I am puzzled about where to place my three 3" fans. At first I was going to place one on either side and one on the rear of the canopy however the fans come with a small amount of wire and I would need to splice the wire to each my adapter.

    I have seen other posts where all three fans were placed at the rear of the canopy. This would be easier since all the fan wires would reach the adapter.

    Are there pros and cons to mouting on the rear of the canopy?

    Have any pics of this?
    Do you have an opening for air-flow opposite the fans?

    No not yet. If the fans are placed in the rear the opposite would be the front of the canopy where I will have access doors for feedings, etc.

    In the back there will be a few holes to allow for electrical wires, etc.
