Its very cheap as new one cost more than $50 for a lousy asian brand.

After calculation, it is 27W

Dont worry, its very strong. I have these fans too. Can cool down 2-3 degree using 3 fans for 100 litres. Even hot spell can cool down to 27-28 degree with 3 fans for 100 litres at no problem. Of course this is without any hot PH and MH

My single unit can keep my tank at a constant 28 degrees thereabouts during this hot spell...turned the d*mned thing off last nite and tonite when I reached home, tank was 31 degrees! My tank is a 3 footer with sump, total est 75 gallons...go figure...

Typrobin, this is an AC fan, so no need converter...

I'm only using one of these fans on my 4X1.5X1.5 and it can keep my water temp around 28...can reach 26-27 on cooler days. However, it runs 24/7.

Do take into mind that powerheads and water pumps will contribute heat to your water too.

Always something more important than fish.

he...he...was using 5 of these at one go before my chiller arrived and it helped alot to cool the tank down. Now my water is too cold even without fan but MH will be able to warm it up abit..... ;)

Guys , thanks for the response as 2 people have reserved 4 sets on Wednesday and the fifth will be collected this coming Saturday.

sorry, a friend just told me that the price had decreased to $35 nowadays due to competitions and bla bla bla, hehe.

I bought it 1 year +++ ago, LOL. Thats was the time I started on marine and testing out cooling system before procceeding. And thats the time this type of fans with clips are released. Guess I mistakenly confused myself with time, LOL. Time passes too fast, :ooh:
