Do any of the local sponsors have fans in stock that I can pick up tomorrow? Im looking for the type of fan that goes inside of the fixture. Like a PC fan. I am also looking for a 4 fan setup to blow across the outside of the fixture. I came home to a broken cooling fan in my light and my tank heated up quite a bit. Close call!

I'm not a sponsor.... In fact I'm really not all that aquarium savvy either... But to be honest they look like computer fans to me. Couldn't you just go to your local computer store and swap them out with something else... Maybe something that has a higher rpm value to them....? I'm not sure but maybe I'm wrong... Not the first time, nor will it be the last. ;D

You are right I was thinking about it and I could go to ALTEX and pick up a fan for pretty cheap.
Funny thing is.. I took my light down (hanging) and opened it all up and looked at the fan to make sure the wiring was not just loose. I followed the wires to the switch and BAM! Just like that I flip the switch and the fan kicks on! I totally forgot I had this switch for it and it was just off. I feel so stupid lol. Im relieved though. Everything is working great now.
