Fans always work
scottayy said:Good point. I'll give it a try today. I have a few spare pc fans and 12v dc adaptors around I'm sure.
I wonder if I want to have one sucking air in the canopy and one sucking air out of the canopy.
Or just a single or double blowing across the surface of the water.
I think since the back is open (well, it has eggcrate, but still open) I will just have one or two blowing directly down on the water.
scottayy said:So this was probably the easiest DIY I've ever done. Hooked up a 12v dc output adaptor to a 12v input pc fan.
Just put it blowing over the water to see if it does anything for now. Temp right now is 83. If it can get it down to 80 I will be super impressed. If it works I will mount it inside the canopy.
Wait, all u have to do to put the fans on that 12v dc is cut the wire strip some plastic off and attach the fan wires??
Lol thats cool, the goby wont fit inside! My pistol made a HUGE cave. Its pretty crazy
scottayy said:I hope they pair. That will be awesome.
Well it just got 86 in here. Boiling beans, lol. I think it's safe to say it will never be that warm in here this summer. We just don't want to turn on the air conditioner in march.
Tank temp is 80.
Glad you guys talked me into the fans.
