Nice find - let me know how setup goes, as I still haven't started futsing around with mine; If you have any questions, Neptune is really good about responding quickly and wholly to questions; there's a link on their website. Like I said, let us know how things go!

How did you mount your fans? I've never seen a design like this before, but it is nonetheless intriguing! What else is new with the tank? What bulbs will you be using?

i'm going to try to get the aqua flora bulbs but if i cant find them i'll try something else but 2 of those with my 10k bulbs i called sunlight supply and they said the aqua folra bulbs were 14K

i just used this heavy duty clear tape then i'm going to silicone them i bought the fans off ebay then wired them up to a charger that i didn't use any more that put out 12dc volts it works great i put the two in the mid cuz i couldn't feel the fans there so thought it might help keep the bulbs cool

oh now i see the red hand.

they will help cool the tank, but i dont know how good it will work. i have on the reef fans and somedays they come on but not the iceprobe, so they do cool a certain amount, but i dont know how much (the whole tank is computerized, and my dad's the reef guy so he feeds the fish and all that. i just watch the hermits play "kill the corals").

heh, i have an aqua controller jr on the reef (well my dad does). just to let you know, if you have a lot of noise on the power it can spaz out (like turn the lights of for no reason and then back on when it realizes they are of in a minute or so).
