What's the device looking like a filter clipped at the top of your tank?

**mordrake** · 29th May 2003, 13:59

that's a cooling fan device with 2 small fans in it. bought from NA for $42. really power for a 1.5 ft [

It looks very neat. What's the power consumption? AC or DC fan?

**mordrake** · 29th May 2003, 14:17

paiseh dunno ac or dc.
comes with adapter to supply the power, should be 12V

That is a DC fan. A good way of identifying AC/DC items is the adapter. You will find that there is a transformer. So, normally, either the plug is very big in size, or it will be somewhere in between the cable, like a standard laptop cable.

I had that fan on my 16&quot; tank, as I normally only on it when the lights are on, the temperature are about 26-27C

. . For the rest of the day, it shoots up to 29-30C.... [
