Default viv ventilation

hi all....

im building a 6x3x2 and its going to be situated in a corner of a room so it will have walls on 2 sides....i was thinking of installing two computer fans on the outside at the hot end of the viv at the point where i will have two 80mm vents......can anyone see any downsides to doing this as i think it will give a constant fresh air supply sucking clean air thro the other 8 vents

Hi mate,

What's it for? If it's for a beardie for instance there is a poss. of respiratory problems with constantly drawing in cool damp air. You can use fans hooked up to a stat to turn on if the temps get too high, if this is the case and the fans aren't on for more than a few minutes at a time, then all is good
