using air pump for circulation?

so i have a plastic bin that holds all my jars while they are growing, but becuse they are in the same space(i just use a space heater to keep the whole closet at about 81) as the birthed cakes(which are on a 12/12 light cycle) i had to make the plastic bin lightproof....would a fishtank air pump into the plastic bin help improve air circulation? any ideas for improving air circulation in a bin that needs to stay light proof?

i have experimented with a air pump in and had no real noticeable difference. i would also knock that temp down 6 or 7 degrees. 81 seems a bit warm

it doesn't need to stay light proof..you can colonize your jars out in the open..the darkness thing is a myth..

I was going to go shopping for an air pump this week! do you fan your's then? I believe they're supposed to be fanned/misted about 4 times a day right? I've only been doing it like twice :/ because of not being home often enough. Do you think an air pump would help me or a waste of money?

You still need too fan 3 or 4 times a day for proper FAE.

81 is a bit to warm, jars can colonize in the light and I would just roll with a SG terrarium and fan it 3 times a day.
