That's an Awesome Design for an Enclosure man! Did you build it or is it an Ikea Job that you're converting?

if you want good ventilation put the vent ont eh basking side of the enclosure at the bottom and the vent at the cool side at the top. this way the heat will draw fresh air in and push the old hot air out. also gives a very good gradient.
