Does anybody know of a location in Edmonton where I could buy 110v fans for my light hood.

I have a custom built hood and I just used the fan from a computer and wired that in.

Radioshack. Ask for 4" muffin or cooling fans. 35$ or around there, each. 60 cfm and pretty quiet and reliable. Lots of people use them, even me :mrgreen:

Hydroponic stores sell fans very simular to the radioshack one for 25.00 (including the cord) and the move 120 cfm. and only a couple decibles louder.

If you are in Calgary any time soon Princess auto ( surplus section ) has 120v fans that look about 8" in diameter ( will check when I get home cause I picked one up myself ) ... hooked it up and it almost put whitecaps on the water :smile:

Cheers

Yep I bought one of those two. So I have one RadioShack and one of those. The hydrophonics ones are noticably loud but awesome for what you pay for.

Function over fashion in my system anyways :mrgreen:

my skimmer is louder than thoes fans so I will take the bigger volume.. two radioshack fans couldent keep my fropm rising more than 3 degrees, one of the Hydroponic shop fans has my temp rise down to 2 degrees, one more and I think I should be fine for the summer.

Steve, do you want to do a trade of some sort with my Hyrdo phonics fan?
