is this loud??? im going to be getting rid of my canopy and doing the rimless deal so yea .... do you think it will work well in my sump??

It measures about 11" by 11" so your stand or canopy has to be big enough to hide it.Or you could get creative with a cabinet or something placed next to the tank to hide the fan.I have the fan running on hi speed and all I hear is the sound of the airflow not the motor.My Ato is on a timer not a float switch. been running this way for about 2 years now.Didnt notice a significant increase in ato demand with the fan.My ac did take a dump on the 3rd of july this year. No problem with tank overheating because my lights are also tied to the temp controller and they turned off when temp went above 82.

hmm ill give it a try and put it near my sump since thats the only place i might have room and if doesnt work ill just return it to wal-mart since they take back anything lol

or get a dorm fridge gut it put the cooling coils in the sump n u have a diy chiller. or get a dorm fridge a lot of tubing coil it up put it in the fridge get a small pump to pump water from sump through the coiled tubing cooling it before it goes back into the sump.

just ideas I have when the little mouse starts turning his wheel. I have not tried these ideas so if u try them try them at ur own risk I am not responsible for the bad out comes but if it works then it was my idea.

I still think my idea is the cheapest and almost positive to drop at least 2-3 degrees and you will not have to spend $200+. Tell me what cha think.

no no I think mine is the best idea. j/k lol. not only will it lower the temp but u could put fish food in the freezer part and keep ur phyto in there also.

my idea calls for vinyl tube
