IM looking to take my four 4-inch fans that run at a high rate of speed (read louder decibels) and replace these with 2 larger fans on the back side of the hood 6-10 inches, where they would not be seen, so that i can have the 4 fans only running in an emergency, ie: tank temperature rises above 82.5, and have the larger, fans, running at a slower rate, during normal halide operation time.
so im looking for some fans, similar in style to the 4 inch fans that are instead 8 inch fans, and that woudl run at 1/2 speed, but still provide the same, or more flow, but at a much reduced noise level.
any suggestions are welcomed, including, "your crazy, that wont work"
FYI:
tank is 150g, with 2x400, and 1X250 HQI mini pendant, with pc actinics, and i normally run the tank at 79-80 degress. the only time i really need any cooling power is in the afternoons, when the sun starts to beat down on that side of the house, especially as it is nearing summer.
thanks
