Anyone use Vantechs over the sump?

[jdellman]

I just bought 4 Vantech fans to use in my canopy (and an adopter), and the next day got the okay from the boss to not use the canopy. So, I would like to use them over the sump, but do not know how to install them. I thought about super gluing them to some egg crate, and figuring out a way to attach the egg crate to the sump, but was hoping someone had a better idea.

Anyone? Or should I just return the fans and get a cheap Walmart clip on fan?

Thanks,

If you have some scrap acrylic, you can make a mount like this...

i place powerful vornado fans on top of my sumps and they do an incredible job at cooling. they do easily 95%+ of my cooling during the summer with the chiller only coming on when the temps get really hot and for a long time.

here is an old pic of my live rock holding tank that was connected to the main tank. two fans do and amazing job at cooling.

Bergzy- That was kind of what I was thinking. It looks easy, I just need to fiure out a way to prevent the eggcrate from falling in.

Glaudds- While yours looks like a lot more work, it looks so cool I may just have to try it.

Thanks for the ideas.
