Good Fans

I need to add a couple of fans to my 52gal. The temp swings from 79-83 daily.

Any recommendations on a quite 3"-4" fan?

Ice caps are the best i've found.

Thermaltake. 12VDC, high flow, extremely quiet, inexpensive.

Ice Cap has a variable speed one w/ temp probe that is nice!

Quietest I have seen is the silentx ixtrema pro. The 120mm us only 14 db at 72cfm. Not the most powerful, but definatley quiet.

Well, I bought the IC's and they are louder than what I was expecting. I also bought a 4" high velocity fan from wally world and it was much more powerful, quieter, and about 1/5 of the price than the IC's. IC's are probably going back.
