I think the fans could be a red herring Josh, but as you say more extensive tests are needed to validate this. I would certainly keep them on. I assume the EFA kit and fans allow for variable speed? Perhap run them at 25% power once you've hit thermal equilibrium. A tube creates a concentrated airflow so you wouldn't need to run them high.

I'm not sure how advanced the EFA kit is, but with the RCOS TCC, the 'auto' setting measures the various temperature sensors and calculates the optimal fan speed. It does this over the night so the optics can be within 0.1 degrees (configurable) of ambient.
