Question

cooling a 12 gallon eclipse


My issue is as follows: I purchased a 12 gallon eclipse 35 days ago. Before getting the 3 items noted below:

-25 Watt Mariland heater set at 80F (only goes on at night)
-Rio 90 positioned at the back, left, middle (depth) of the tank.
-13 watt blue/white U shaped bulb

my temperature was running between 77 and 81 degrees F. Now, it is running between 80 and 84 defrees F. I live in South Florida and it is not even summer yet. What type of fan can I use to put under a 12 gallon eclipse hood? And more importantly, how do I mount it? Which direction? I read about a few fans from Ice Cap and radio shack but can I use these for the eclipse?

I would try a clamp on fan with the lid opened a little. Clamp on fans are about $10 from Wally World. Try to set it up so that the fan blows across the open lid. Keep an eye on the water level because it will be evaporating a lot more. Bob
