Thermostat for fans

[thebulkhimself]

I'm designing a hood for my tank and seeing it has metal halides in it im putting two 120mm exhaust fans in the lid but I'm also putting 6mm slots all the way across the top of it to help with extraction of heat.

I'm looking for a 240V thermostat switch so that the fans only turn on when the air inside gets to a certain temperature. Does anyone know of any websites/companies that produce thermostats in 240V?

Cheers

you can get it in 240v a lot of people use this in the beer making hobby. I got mine off of ebay but it was the same price as granger. can be use as heat or cooling and programed to whatever temp ypu want.

If you don't want a temp controler, why not just have the Fans come on with the timer that turns on the lights?

it's really not that hard to wire up.

Ya, I have the Grager duel stage temp controller and it rocks. Keeps my tank rock steady, fans on at 81, off at 80 and the fans switch on and off all day and all night.

I like this one because it goes by water temp, not air temp so you can directally control your tank.
