    hi, how many AC Fan do i need to install for a 4ft tank??
    If i need to bring down the temperature from 29degrees to 26 degrees??

    as i'm having a light array of 4 x 44watts & 2 x 36 watts, so is quite considerably hot for the water...

    by the way, what's the market price of a AC Fan??..and brand name??

    hi jw, quite impossible to push the temp down to 26 degree, I use one AC for my 4ft and the lowest I can achieve is 27degree, even with 2 AC fan, oso ard that temp.. but I find that adding another fan dun really makes a all lotsa diff. except for topping up of water lost

    u can find AC fan at sim lim tower, price range between 15-30 depending on brand, rpm... u oso have to make sure to secure the fan, in case it drops into your tank and "Boom" trip yr circuit breaker

    Evaporative cooling depends on the ambient humidity.
    BTW, since we are talking about cooling planted tanks, why do you need to bring the temp down to specifically 26C? You growing aponogetons?
