How would I mount this fan over the first chamber?

I bet a good fan just pulling air through the stand would be almost as good
Quick fix but not aesthetically pleasing is using an egg crate and tying the fan to it. Should the fan be pulling/ or pushing air? Previously I used a fan to push to agitate the water, but I am hearing a lot of people mentioning pulling lately.

If you're looking for evap cooling, the you should be pushing air over the water.
I think what you're hearing is that they're pulling in air to go over the water
 
You can probably make either work. I’m saying pushing air out of the stand. Pulling from inside the stand. You could make a little intake for the fan near the sump maybe.
I wouldn’t want to mount it where you have it just because it’s so close to water there
 
Using this as the quick fix black egg crate and a non ip57 fan for now. Will probably work on upgrading the fan. thanks for all the info!
