How to hang a circulation fan inside a terrarium?

[swords]

I'm new to using a fishtank as a terrarium, my old Nepenthes units were DIY so I could cut holes in the side and mount a cooling fan in the wall. But now I've got an aquarium as my terarrium and would like to suspend a 2-3" radio shack CPU fan in there just to move the air around and probably help expell the warm air at the top too. Have any of you got images of how you suspend yours?

My retrofit (used briefly) was expanded vertically with plexi. I made a mount for the DC 3" fan from aluminum and placed it near top on left side. There was enough air leakage around all the fixtures to assure some fresh air getting in.

So it really didn't move air from inside out or outside in, but circulated air quite effectively inside the tank. Hope this stimulates some ideas

maybe you solved your problem already..? i've used epoxy
to glue a suction cup or two on the fan. I've been really happy with that.
