Help needed for cooling my nano

[Jakuson]

Where can I get a decent fan to cool my nano? I saw alot of ppl using computer fans. But, how can I get it to be able to plug it into the socket in my house? Do I need some sort of converter and where to get it? My nano's temperature is now 30 degrees and sometimes even rise to 31.3 degrees celcius. What can I do? Somebody help!! Thanks a million in advance!

why not a chiller for your nano?? it is more reliable and better in term of evaporation rate.

if u wanna a fan , i would advice u to go for those AC fan like the sona or profantec fan... stronger and more efficient. can get it from petmart

Hi Bro. I find that using a chiller would be better to stabilize your nano tank's temperature & more convenient, but the only thing is the higher cost.

Yes I agree, last time I use to have a 2 feet tank with a fan, but the evaporation rate was scary, everyday I have to top up. But I'm using chiller now, it really saves a lot of trouble. If you are unsure of how to change the power suply for the fan, you might want to consider get a fan from LFS. But the price is at least 4 to 5 times higher than those computer ones, I remember I bought the fan from one of the LFS at $40 - $50. And one thing is that they cannot last long, once salt start to appear on the fan, it will break down.

U can probably get a 12VDC adapter or maybe those old ones used in your cordless phones to fire up ur fan....

Take note of the V and amp.... match them properly..... u wun wan either of them to overwork...

thanks guys...haven been looking at this thread lately...I given up on my small pico which is 0.6 gallon. Now, I am working on my 30G nano tank....i think chiller or fan not needed as the temperature is quite stable...

You are still going to need to cool your 30G. What is your temp stable at?

actually what i did when i had no chiller is that i put a bottle of mixed salted water from my tank and freeze it the if for u u can open the cap and leave it in the filter area.cheers pm if don understand

My tank is stable at the around 27-28 degres celsius. The highest it will go is also around 28.5 degrees celsius. So, I think it shld be okay ritez? And do I need a sump for a 30G. Currently my tank is emtpy with just saltwater running with a powerhead. Getting live rock soon for my tank. Cheers!
