What kind of fans to put in a hood?

I heard Nexus are really quiet fans as well.. They cost a little more though.

Nexus are really quiet, they are re branded Yate Loon's

yeah I'm gonna get the yate loons, the ones' for 3.50. I figure it will be 10 bucks total with shipping for 2. Thats a good deal.

then 5 bucks for the other thing I need to reduce the speed and wire them together.

Good lookin' out buddy! You saved me like 20 bucks!

reduce the speed?? they're not loud at all running full speed. If you have any 12v 300mA transformers around, itll run one fan.

I prefer two fans but if thats not what you want I would recommend a fan on one end and exit on the other so air has to travel the length of the tank.

SocalCreations built a canopy for me and put 2 holes on each side. So should I just put one 120mm fan on each side?

This is what I got, couldn't be happier.

Extremely quiet, great at removing heat.

You want cheap? I bought a couple of $5 fans @ Target and have them wedged behind my canopy. Works great. Keeps the temperature down in my tank.
