 Fan INSIDE Monotub **Idea**

 Hi All,
SO I've been doing some reading recently on monotubs. I would like to try it out...but I'll get into the specifics of my personal idea later. But in doing thinking about my personal possible setup, I came up with an idea. I searched the forums (please don't flame me, I know not to post something without first searching!!) but did not come up with anyone who had done this specifically.
The idea is simple: what about putting a small computer fan inside (INSIDE) a monotub so that FAE is more reliable and so that the air inside the tub is better mixed?
I realize people have hooked coolmists to their tubs, and airpumps (with polyfil covers to keep out contaminants), but I haven't seen someone put a fan inside of their tub. I understand that with monotubs, it is a good idea to have the tub in a room with a small fan to circulate the air.
The reason this is appealing to me is because I'm trying to do a stealth grow. I have roomates who probably would not be too cool with this project, so I've been sneaking around, PCing when they're not here, soaking when they're at school, etc.
So my tub I would like to set up is currently holding up the printer (i.e. the printer sits on top of it) in my room. I would like to put all of my FAE polyfil filled holes on the far side of the tub so that if you just look at it, you wouldn't notice the holes. Obviously, this would create problems with the FAE, so I was thinking...why not put a small fan inside the tub to move air around? If there are a lot of holes on the one side of the tub and a fan moving air inside the tub (small fan), it seems to me that this would create the same effect as if holes were located opposite each other on the tub.
Any thoughts? Anyone tried this? Thanks for reading!

it would prolly just dry out the substrate if you want super stealth do invitro gallon sized bags do 20 of em and you'll get a good harvest

Thanks for reviving:
If I have a fan on in my room, my roomates might get pissed that I'm wasting electricity running the fan when they're not around (and when I'm not around).
Actually, I have decided to go another route; I have decided to do an agar fogger humidifier sitting behind the box (I have some space) with a good timer to run it once in awhile. This should provide FAE and also some humidity. I'll keep the fan in the box to ensure that the air isn't stagnant inside.
Watch for a picture post with some mycoporn soon, hopefully *fingers crossed*

The snazy part about monotubs is they don't require fans or maintenence. check out RR's tek with tons of holes in all six sides.
I put a fan inside a fruiting chamber once, on a timer, and it still dried out my shrooms

you don't need a fan in the tub. If you did the mono tub with the 4 large holes with the bottoms ones at least 8 inches from the top then the co2 is so much heavier than air that it will fall out the bottom holes and suck in fresh air in the top holes if you get a fan going in there it wont drop the co2 out the bottom like it should.
