AndrewT Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I now have a total of 6 5" fans in my canopy... Ive been running my 2 400 watt mhs for about 6 hrs a day and the tanks been sitting right at 78 degrees. Can running 6 5" fans have any downside beside the noise?

caferacermike Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 higher electrical bill, but hardly noticeable. I'd think that the noise would drive you insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landfish Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you go to a computer supply store like frys or Altex they have some "silent" cpu case fans. They usually are < 30 db and work well for canopy cooling fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewT Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 The fans are pretty quite the cpu fans are putting off more noise than the radioshack fans. The cpu fans Kinda have an annoying buzz to them. Other than that theyre not to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
