Hello all, I just recently upgraded my 5.5 gallon AGA nano to a 10 gallon tank. The lighting is the same (2 x 32 watts). That caused a heat issue on the 5.5 gallon so I had to put a fan in my canopy earlier this summer.
Well the 10 gallon has been setup for a few weeks now and the temp hasn't gone over 82 yet without the fan, so I am not going to be putting a fan in the canopy as I don't want the extra evap.
So I have this fan that would be perfect for someone's nano. It dropped the temp in my 5.5 gallon from 87 to a consistent 81.
The fan is from Radio Shack. It is a DC fan so that means you need a transformer...but I have that too! Here is the link to the fan:

Here is the link to the transformer:

I paid $23 + tax for these items just 2 months ago and they like new. The fan and the transformer are already all wired together so just install the fan and plug the transformer into your outlet!
$10 for the fan/transformer plus $3 - $5 shipping (depending on how far away you live from SC).
Thanks!
P.S. I have have the whole used 5.5 gallon AGA "setup" if anyone is interested. The tank is in great shape, the back is painted black. The canopy is wooden DIY, looks pretty good but not perfect, painted black. Sits on top of the tank about 4 inches tall, easily holds 2x36 AH Supply bulbs. Also a 170 gph HOB power filter. I don't have any lights. Make me an offer, I will ship this anywhere. A good deal for someone to get a nano setup CHEAP. Sorry no pics.
