If the tank is for darts, that sounds about right. Humidity wise that is.

I beleive james67 had a good explanation on what to look for and how to set up fans so i wont regurgitate that just search james67 diy fans. You wont even need to read it since its a lovely video.
that james67 guy has no idea what he's talking about. dont take his advice. and that video... pshhh, no useful info anywhere in it!
i didnt get to cover everything that i wanted, but it was an all-nighter and i was running very late for a trip out of state, so thats what everyone gets.
One of my buddies had a Thermaltake Mobilefan that he had but wasn't using anymore that he gave me. It is an 80mm external case fan that runs off a USB cord. So I'll be able to plug it into the wall and hook it up to an old Ipod charger.
Regardless of brand - you're probably going to want to put it on an adjustable power supply so there isn't a small hurricane inside your tank. I had a teeny 40mm fan that vibrated in its PVC housing very loudly on 12v - it also was drying things out a little too quickly for my liking.
They have them at Walmart for like $10 in the electronics section. I re-watched Jame's video before I hooked mine up. My hands shake a lot sometimes so I wished I had gotten the helping hands alligator clip thingy he had in the video.
