The simplest setup would be a couple of small 5 or 6 inch fans from your
local department store, the best way would be a couple of 5 inch muffin
fans mounted in your hood, You can get the fans from a computer supply
house which will need a 12 volt supply, or you can get them as 110 volt
from a place like radio shack. For the short turn just go to the
hardware store and get a fan you place that will blow on the waters surface.

Hi all,

I need some advice on how to cool my tank. It is getting up to 27/28
degrees C and my corals are hating me for it. I need to come down to 25
degrees C but HOW? Buying a chiller would be an option but they are
hellish expensive here - about US$ 850. I tried taking my coiver glass
off but promptly blew one of my ballasts that drive the T5 lights because
of salt evaporation.

Any advice on any ways to get the tank 1 or 2 degrees cooler would be
much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

A couple of fans setup to blow acrost the waters surface will cool it down
a few degrees.
