    Default Computer fan question

    I will me needing to add some to my canpoy when I install the new MH lighting. I was thinking of using just a Walmart fan but I think I will need these as well. How do you go about wiring up these fans to plug them in? I have never done it before.

    Also if anyone has any that are all ready put together and ready to go that would like to sell or trade for coral let me know.

    Most are 12v and are simply connected via a hot and common. You can run them off a small DC wall wart.

    12vdc wall adapter. I use these on all of my tanks, they aren't hard to wire up at all. If you need help just shoot me a pm.

    Radio shack should have some. Probably even walmart or walgreens too. You could also order them from ebay, amazon, etc. Or if you have old phone chargers one of those might work, just make sure its 12VDC. You can find power supplies everywhere, I'm starting to use old laptop chargers for LED arrays.

    Make sure your fans are 12VDC, which is typical, but there are some that are not.
