    My canopy will have 2 fans in it.
    Are fans normally temp controlled or are they just on constantly when the lights are on? I fig'd they'd have to be similar to computer fans which can be temp controlled.

    so when lights come on the fans come on. How about a coralife 260 watt PC fixture with fans. Are those temp controlled or timed to lights.

    That's what I would guess without seeing your lights.

    i know this is a little late, I hope you like your 250 watts and vho Im sure by now you feel that the halides are what is important and you probably got a chiller or really want one by now. I would suggest a tradewind chiller, it is an american company that will replace or sell any part and everything is repairable on it which is not the case with most chiller companies. they also offer a 5 year warranty, one other company I would consider is an aqua logic, pretty much the same deal
