Question

Cooling Fans???

Does anybody know any good cooling fans? With summer just recently arriving and my tank just newly setted up... kinda find it hard to keep it within its parameters of 78F-82F... Right now i have 3 house fans cooling it... 1 fanning the inside of my canopy and 2 inside my sump. My LFS told me to buy Computer fans from frys electronics... Anyone know any good brands there that are very effective and very quiet? Thanks in advance!

Go to your local electronics shop and buy some PC cooling fans and a cheap power supply. The whole lot cost me $30 bucks and it works a treat. You can buy the Icecap ones if you want, but they will be expensive.

Get the pc fans but pay alittle more for the ball bearing type and not the sleeve type. and a power supply that is 12 volt. or what ever the fans are rated at.
