Question canopy ventilation for radions?

so im getting my canopy for my radions and i was wondering if having a open back canopy with slots on the top for extra ventilation will be sufficient for the radions. i really dont want them to have heat issues.what do you guys think? thanks for your time

open back with vents right above where the radion fans are should be more than enough. They dont produce tons of heat but you still want it to be able to circulate the air some.

if anything place one of those theromstaticly controlled fans in the canopy just to circulate air not necessarily to exhaust the air but move it. plust it will only turn on when it needs to!
