Quietest Evap Fans
Well I have been using a 4 fan combo evap fan over my main display for some time and a 2 fan combo over my sump for some months like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Metal-Halide-Aqu...QQcmdZViewItem fans have worked great problem is the 4 fan combo has a noisy whine to it and is placed in my open top canopy. I have the unit hooked up to my controller so it it kicks on when my temp gets to 81 f and off when it gets to 80.3 f. Problem is is the tank is near my bedroom and the fan kicks on during most nights a couple cycles. The whine is of course driving my wife and I a bit crazy (more my wife) if you know what I mean. Anyway, wondering what the quietest fan out these is in the 80 to 120mm series? I'd like to bank 3 to 4 together like the combo unit. Any ideas or quiet fans? I was looking into these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...8117&rd=1&rd=1

I've had good success with the silentX computer fans. I have 2 models that are rated at 14db and I can't even hear the fan from more than a foot away. I installed both in my canopy. I keep my tank in my dining room so no noise is important to me.
You would have to wire them to a DC adapter but it's easy to do. http://www.silenx.com/ixtremaprofans.asp |
