Canopy Fans Added!
An easy work around for AC fans and noise is a rheostat. Nothing more. One plug can run both in the same manner as DC. Wire them up with teh rheostat and you can vary the speed of the fans. Slower speed less noise. etc etc.
I'll actually be going this route. Then when it's time to add in my controller(whenever I build it) I can set it up for speed control due to temp variations. YOu can do this with DC as well but I'd rather have the oompfff an AC fan has.
Another easy thing to build would be a temperature sensor based AC fan circuit. since all house electrical is AC, buy a thermostat. Instead of setting a heater to come on you can set it up so that as temp goes up fans get faster. and vice versa. I can't imagine it would be too difficult.
I'll let ya know as I have to do a fan set up with my new tank.
