When it's very warm, I'd keep it directly on them. If it's under 80, make it oscillate.

He isn't talking about it being cool. He is talking about 80-85 degrees. When my rat room was too hot in my old place I always kept the fan blowing on the rack. Never had a problem with illness. Now if he is using a 10 gallon tank and is going to put a fan blowing directly down into it, that's another story.

I wasn't arguing, I was expanding. I don't want people to think that blowing fans on rats all the time is necessary.

If it's over 80, it's fine. But anything under can do more harm then good. :)
