    Fan install

    Got the fans installed and wired up tonite. They blow alot harder than I expected them to (Thats a good thing) I have 2 80mm on the ends pulling in air, and 3 120mm on the back in front of each bulb blowing out. These back fans will blow a sheet of notebook paper straight out 90 degress if you hold it in front of them...Pics to come in a few minutes..camera batt died and is charging.

    I know the feeling, although my impatience got the best of me. Considering its resting on top on my 135g 90% completed. I just had to do it mostly to test out my lights too... She'll come down soon enough for some finishing work.

    Installed a quick dis-connect plug in case I have to remove the canopy
