I have a question. over my tank I have 4x96w PC lights. They are in 2 6 foot light strip configurations, not in a canopy. I'm thinking of taking the strips apart and putting the relectors/bulbs into a wooden canopy in order to prevent my tank from getting so hot.
On an average day of running the lights for 8 hours my tank will go from 79-80 degree's to 81-82 degrees by the end of the day.
So, my question is this. after I get or build a canopy and mount the lights into it, I'd like to put some fans in the canopy to cool the lights.
I work at a computer store and was thinking i could just use some 80mm computer case fans but they are wired with 4 prong plugs that hook up to a computer powersupply.
Does anyone know how I could rewire those fans in order to hook them up to another type of power source?
Here is an example of the type of fan I'm talking about.
