Searched JBJ C-Breeze Adjustable Clamp-On Air Blower in Reviews
One of the better cooling devices for a small tank 
| Installation and Operation |
I had a little tank, 5.5 gallons, that was running too hot and I really needed it cooled by about 4 degrees during lights on. I looked around at several different fans and each claimed only 2 - 3 degrees of cooling. My research lead me to the JBJ C-Breeze which claimed 3-5 degrees of cooling. It was also a good $10 less than all the other ones I had looked at.
I really like how it clamps on and how flexible the arm is as well, you can really bend it around to where you want it.

| Performance vs. Expectations |
I actually got 6 degrees of cooling out of this. I don't think you would get that in a larger tank, I think mine was just perfect for this fan to work. I call it a fan, but as the description above states, it's really a "blower". I think this distinction is actually why it works so well. The air is better directed and controlled than just an ordinary fan is.
I later used this with 29 gallon BioCube. I got 3 degrees of cooling out of it. However, it isn't designed for a BioCube and wasn't the greatest. I understand it fits great in any of the JBJ nano cubes though.
The only complaint I have is that the fan is a bit noisy. It wasn't enough to really bug me, but my wife noticed it right away when I added it. Still, if you are faced with a hot nano tank and can't afford a higher dollar solution, I recommend this blower, I think it's a good product that is well thought out and won't break the bank.

| Value for money |
Most of the fans I looked at were $10 - $15 dollars more and claimed less cooling. This was cheap and got more than I expected. I was really pleased and say the value is really there with this.

| Customer Support |
I have not had to use customer support for this product but have with other JBJ products and find them to be helpful and friendly.

| Liked about it |
1. Better than expected cooling on a small tank (not for large tanks).
2. Flexible arm allows for accurate pointing of airflow.
3. Very secure mount.
4. Can be used on a variety of tanks, including some all-in-one systems.

| Didn't like |
1. A little noisy.
2. More noisy in a BioCube as it caused other parts to vibrate. Not the fan's fault I suppose, but it is a result of clipping on.
