I am thinking about getting this fan to move air across the top of my aquarium sump - the fan would be mounted securely within the wood cabinet above

That should work, you might want to consider getting the variable speed control made by the same company and simply replaces the power cord that comes with the fan. Make sure it isn't too close to the water.

It's a heavy-duty fan (bulkier than I thought) and blows a lot of air. If you're OK with that, it should be fine.

I don't think it would. Even if the mount fit in that space (which it possibly could), the fan would be hanging over the top of the doorway. May bump it with your head, it's a pretty big fan.........

On the high setting it seems very efficient. Has what feels like a high cfm output. Should be able to move plenty of air considering good placement and a clean filter.

This fan puts out a lot of air flow - I use it to vent humidity from my home's basement. For that volume you may want to a "duct booster" fan which has a quarter of the air flow.

Not if you have an outlet. If there's no outlet then run an extension cord or have an electrician put in an outlet close to the location you wish to mount the fan.

I positioned mine in the corner angled so that it creates a continues airflow in the room. The owners manual provides an illustration of this.

These fans are not really made to mount in a cabinet like that... I ran into that problem myself... I did go ahead and cut a hole in my cabinet and mounted the best I could and they work fine... These are basically made to just sit beside, under or back of your equipment... You might be a better carpenter than I am and can make it work for you... Hope this helps!

It should be just fine that way. The vents are in the rear halfway up so carpet would not obstruct circulation. It does not do well in a cabinet. I have mine in one anyway and used cooling fans for A/V equipment to supplement ventilation and it works great now.

I'd be wary of doing that -- the fan needs to have access to a lot of open circulating air, not sure a pantry closet can offer that.

I'm very satisfied with the fan. It's relatively quiet, good air flow and looks nice. It should do fine in a room of that size. You may have to run on the higher speed.

Could be. I use it that way, though from the design, I think it is meant to be primarily an intake fan (positive pressure in the box). Seems to work either way.

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

I would use it pointing up to the ceiling, and it would circulate the air really well. If you were to point directly at the desk...then, I am guessing the papers would blow around. It's a great fan and does move the air well.

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

I highly doubt it is powerful enough for that. You need something with a higher pressure. Squirrel fans are high volume, low pressure. Technically it would pull air inside but I'm not sure it has the power to fill it fully.

The key will likely be do you have enough ventilation...It does not include a thermostat, so something with one might be a better idea.It does have a much stronger motor than most permanently mounted fans that I've seen...

You're better off getting a regular fan. This fan is terrible and noisy and a waste of money. But the answer to your question is no. Unless you're crafty and can make something to hold it. Sorry :(
