I personally like to use computer fans, because they come in various sizes and you can get very quiet fans with good bearings. You can mount them in various positions, even just sit them on top of the cage. You can run a few fans off a 110v AC to 12v DC 4pin molex power supply, and plug this straight into a timer. I had mine cycling on and off throughout the day so the air never gets stale. You can even increase airflow with a setup like this by having one fan push air in with another on the opposite side of the viv pulling air out. Just be careful not to mount fans where any pets could get hurt.
