26c is achievable for 1ft tank using fan. look for one with higher ampere, big fan not necessary be better. check out on Profantec fan, rather effective.
currently have a small fan for my 1ft tank.
Its diameter is about 6cm and manage to lower my tank's temp to 27.5 degreeC.
Wondering if I buy a bigger fan, will i be able to lower it till round 26?
I know there is a limit to what a fan can do. Just wondering if anyone achieve round 26 degreesC for his/her 1 ft tank using fan only

When will there be 25 letters in the alphabets?
got a friend stay tampines. manage to get 26 degree 3ft tank. but his room is shaded and windy. beside PIE expressway.
i believe during hot season unlikely to reach 26 degree with fans
richie bro :higher ampere... ic . Didn't know that. Always thought bigger is better. So most LFS sell the profantec fan ? or you know whether NA or Y618 sells them
thanks eddy for the advise too
I know NA has the fan. The most a fan can drop the temperature of the water is about 2 degrees. It's the temperature fo the surrounding air that plays an important part.

Call me Brian.
P.S. This is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
And also amount of water for topups caused by evaporation.

i've a profantec fan over my 1.5feet tank, manage to cool my temperature between 25.8 - 26 degree. not so noisy too, just ideal if your a noise paranoid like me
What is your surrounding temperature normally?Originally Posted by kemp
what is the fan size?
Do profantec comes in different sizes?
Still having difficulty to which size i should get?
thanks

bigger fan = faster cooling effect. but the min temp which it can reduce is the same if u use smaller fans.
1 fact is that BIgger fan = faster evaporation rate!
i'm ADDicted to this wonderful hobby
The lowest your water can be with a fan is the ambient temperature...
Like Taz_boy say, the fan speed only affects the speed at which evaporation occurs, thereby speed at which the water cools down...
Having an airy surrounding will help... NA has cool water due to its airy shop space... Try doing that in C328... With the same setup, it will not be able to attain those kind of temperature...
My profantec fan is the same size as those that we can get in LFS. Tank is placed in my living room, so i don't really measure my surrounding temperature, there's no direct sunlight or any heat source other than m profantec fan's heat. I guess that plays a part in the temperature too.
went to NA today but cannot find the profentec fan >.<
yeah want to reduce the noise too...
kemp : where you got yours? .
NA has the Sunon fan... Same grade...
higher amperage fans > 0.15a are noisy but are faster. faster fans should cool a little better. the cooling effect depends on the surrounding ambient temperature and relative humidity.
