you can get Profantec fan. It's available at most LFS, C328 or the LFS next to NA.

If it is a 2 feet tank or smaller, those smaller generic fans are perhaps enough.

LFS like KF sell this fan set that consists of a computer fan and the adapter. The wiring is such that should your fan fails, you can just go buy another cheaper computer fan and plug it in directly. Plug and Play.

Price wise, if I remember correctly, falls under $13.

Honestly 1 should be enough for a 2 footer. However, fans can only cool to the water to roughly the ambient temperature and not below. If the tank's surrondings is 28, then you can only go to the lowest of about 28.

To go below 27 you need a chiller.

Can easily get a 240V fan from Sim Lim Tower and DIY a very simple mounting for the fan to clip onto the tank. Total cost is less then $10.

I have been using the same fan for my 2ft tank and now it move to my 3ft tank. Been running for a few years already.

BTW, water level drops fast if fan is on 24hrs on a 2ft tank. Maybe the 240VAC fan is damn powerful, but it does drops the temp by upto 5 degree if I am not wrong.

I once used a crocodile clip, a screw and nut to clip a computer fan to my shrimp tank.





Hope this helps.
