Hello,

Summer is getting closer and wanted to know everyone's thoughts. I'm definitely going to be using fans as a cooling system. I really don't want to have a fan for each tank and was hoping this to work.

Use a small seal container with a fan on top ( were the lid goes ) drill a hole and add some PVC and direct the air to each individual tank. I'm sure the air might not be distributed equally, but wanted to know if anyone has ever thought of this.

thanks,

So basically make a blower and use the pvc pipe to direct air to each tank?

Yes.

I think heat distribution on the PVC will cool most of the cooling the fan and cooler does. Plus you would have to get a really strong fan to get any movement

yup you'll lose a lof the the cooling temp on the run to the tanks because the PVC will be warmer. better off with 3 clip on fans for sure.

its only 3 tanks wont cost much $15 a fan. I just bought a bunch earlier this week because its mid 90s this week in LA. even the cool part of town where I live is warm.

I was just trying to avoid the bulkiness of the fans

Attach all tanks to one and get a sump

that was the plan, but I decided to have more tanks instead

I use 12 volt fans with an AC adapter that are used to cool a computer processor or power supply. They are very slim, quiet, and since they are only 12 volts DC there is not a shock hazard using around water.

Computer fans do t push enough air to cool much
