Default Exhaust Fan

Looking for an Industrial size Exhaust fan. Anyone know where I could pick one up in the Lower Mainland. I'm looking for one that will mount to the wall and blow to outside. Meaning I will cut a hole in the wall and insert the fan.

Thanks
J

I had the contractor put in a Panasonic exhaust fan directly above where my new tank will go. It moves a lot of air. I don't have the cfm numbers on me right now, but from the outlet using the precision instrument that is the palm of my hand, it's a lot more than my bathroom fans. Plus, it's dead silent.

I'm not sure if it would move enough air for your monster tank and the evaporation it gives off, but two well placed one may be. You can always add a dehumidifier as well.

An industrial fan would really be noisy even if it's in your fishroom in the basement.

Its also very quiet at 636 CFM which can adjusted via a cheap light dimmer switch.

Ya I'm looking for more of a general purpose fan, I guess. That will pull air from the room not from a Duct.

Jason,

I'd suggest looking at a hydroponics supply store for an axial fan like that shown in the link.

Interesting that it's a local store that popped up in my Google search ... we obviously have a lot of demand for hydroponics equipment. Especially cash sales I understand
