Well It seems that everyone has there own way. But I think everyone is on same track here. What might work for somebody else might not be the best for you. I think that the canopy fans should be use to remove heat from the lights not the tank per say. I have a negative air pressure system in my...

Thanks I might try it.

I have also looked into both of these units. Everyone that has the Wk2 says these should have bought the Wavebox. Some of the big differences are; the size, the noise, the Quality, and finally the product. When I say the product I mean Tunze. They are a well known company with many great product...

This should be the last change that I can see. What does every think of this. Ive do alot more research and have all of you to thank. So let me know about this one.

Yes those are doors on the side and the fans will be on the inside of them I just forgot to add the into the pic. The wires will run along the inside to allow me to open the doors.
