flexible hose

AC had some in grey towards the back behind the corals, last time I was there. Call chris and ask him.
 
If you mean the type used for overflows, I have 2 new ones I was going to bring back to the critter (they are brand new). I bought them a few weeks ago and now don;t need them. Want me to bring them tomorrow when I pick up the puffer? I will sell them for what I paid for them. Let me know.

Im gona redo my plumbing sometime (as soon as i get my quiet barrier composite) . I have 1" drain and 1" return. My return pump has 3/4" oulet though.

Also, is there any kind of clip type thingy that will hold a computer fan in place?
I want to hook up a few computer fans and hold them at certain angle blowing into the canopy. I have that cheap walmart fan now, sounds like a jet engine.

I have a ton of computer fans, might aswell put them to good use :D

that cheap hose like you have photo's sells at TSC and Home Depot. somewhere in teh $10 range at 25'. it is by the sump and well pumps. as for the fans, I have all of mine held to my canopy with screws. for the two that blow air into, they are screwed into the corners. the other two are screwed into a small piece of wood that was glued to the lid. they blow across the lights.

i want them to blow at the metal halides directly, so they have to be held at an angle.
If i screw them in they'll blow air horizontally into the canopy, not on a 45° angle at the halide pendant glass where the heat is.

When you blow air directly at the lights, it makes a huge difference.

ANeal,

Cut an angled standoff, glue it to a box hole in the canopy, then screw the fan to that. Instant angle.
 
i dont know what that bracket would look like but i'm not gona have the fans inside the canopy since they're computer fans. i dont think they're made to be used in high moisture areas.

the fans are gona be behind the canopy where the tanks black frame is

im not sure if i'm makin any sense :)

andy ..i should be home by 5:00 if u want to pick up the puffer ..give me a call b4 u leave to make sure i'm there

sorta, I have used computer fans for a good while. at elast 4 years. the last batch I bought were super cheap and super quiet off ebay. cost me like $15 for 4 of them and they are blue LED too. added to the moonlights. they worked great and have seen no ill effects. the last ones lasted me a good 4 years.

PM Me your number again please Aneal.
 
If you want great fans for your reef that are super quiet, check out the Yate Loon fans on eBay. You can find them for around $8 shipped and they are super quiet and great fans! I have one on my sump. :)

those are nice but im looking for something quieter with same cfm..im gona have 5 0r 6 of these so the noise adds up..i think those ebay fans are 44CFM/28-33dBA

the fans on newegg are much quiter and have higher cfm

i ordered the ones circled in green, the magnetic barometric bearing ones are truly quiet

i really want those Silenx IXPs with fluid dynamic bearing 72CFM/14dBA...thats some serious air, 14 dBA is unreal but they're $22 a pop :) i can get 3 magnetic fans

fanss

Wow! Fans have come a long way in the last few years.

Thanks for that chart. Its rather enticing as I'm considering rehousing my computer into a P180 and adding some really quiet fans. ;)
