Need some help in fan?

Is it a must to put a fan to lower down the water temperature?

My tank temperature at 27-28 degree.

27-28 is ok, fan will lower the temperature by 2 degree but then you need to top up often.

Generally, lower temperatures are better (around 25). Using fans is one way to do this but as Shadow says, you'll need to top up water more often. If you can aford it, get a chiller - best way to reduce temperature and keep it constant.

Not neccessary. Depends on the faunas and plants you keep.

27-28 is fine. No need fan or chiller.

if you are keeping moss and you want ur moss to grow thick and nice, its best to have a fan running..

Hi EvolutionZ,

Have been trying to grow mosses..... but all turned brown & die... Possible to only try fan 24/7... Pls give tips

White Rhino,

Its possible to keep the fan on 24/7. High light helps too but isn't that necessary as compared to other plants. Clean water too...

keeping fan 24/7 is ok but must be more hardworking. Must top up water almost every single day.
