Need advice about fan timing and direction.

Hey guys! Been a while, but has some recent concerns with a new grow area. So I moved into a new house and I actually have a room to grow in now, but I'm trying to keep it in the closet. HAH!

So I've done a few monotub grows that have gone well. Have just a few questions and concerns. I'm about to add two more tubs to the one you see. Now I have a fan in there which you can see, facing away from the tub that runs every 2 1/2 hours for 30 minutes. However this room actually has a ceiling fan, and I'm wondering which might be better to use? The dark object in the top left is a colonizing tub covered with a towel. I was told to keep colonizing tubs away from any moving air, and wondering if it's fine up there separated from the fan, and if I do use the ceiling fan, should I remove that thing from the room?
I'm thinking about moving the colonizing tub to the floor though, as heat rises and from what I've read they should colonize at a slightly cooler temp than when fruiting? I've had that backwards for a while and have just tried to correct the temp settings.
Anyway tub is going great, lots of knots forming. Gettin mad wood yo! If you have something helpful to input please do so. Thanks -Funk

Any indirect air flow should keep the room stirred up. 70 - 80 degrees you should be golden. They will colonize below that, but not as fast. As long as you don't go above 85 you'll be golden. If you have the space, friggin add more!

get an oscillating fan and put it a few feet away not quite directly pointed at the tub.

as long as your holes are taped you can colonize them in there as well
