Hi did you make an exploration to see whether there is a difference between using one fan or two fan in terms of drop in temp?

I am only using one fan (ANS 3000) and it brings my temp from 29/30 to about 27/28. So I am still wondering whether to invest in one more fan.

This is really a very nice try for starters.

The plants look fine. Any algae problems? You are not dosing other nutrients like Potassium?

so far theres hair algae all over my java ferns and i have no time to take care of my planted tank due to work commitment. My Wisteria has overgrown and covered half of my tank. Might do some trimming this weekend. For temp wise, it has increased by 1 deg(29deg- fan on 24hrs) and my plants still growing like crazy! Will post latest pic soon. cheers.
