What type of fan is best to cool water surface & lighting fixtures?

[modulok]

I am looking to get a fan to blow over my T5 fixtures and water to use evaporating cooling. I would attach to my Reef Angel controller and program to come on when water hits certain temp.

I have a wall or ceiling I could mount the fan, as I rather not attach to the tank.

Try these two links, not sure how the wall mount would work, but I had the tunze mounted inside my canopy on my 34, which was overkill, but I have a 250watt MH on the tank and it needed some serious air flow. It was low profile and virtually silent on both speed setting. (yes it is variable speed) It is a little pricey, but I loved it. Its rated for 1.8 to 3.6 degrees in cooling for up to 132 gallons. I can tell you on my smaller tank it controlled a 6 degree temp swing on the low setting.

Hope this helps.

I use a JBJ Sea Breeze.

Does the Aquawind actually have blue LEDs?

I am thinking about trying that one, but I don't want to mount it to the glass, I am thinking on the back pump cover for the Red Sea Max S series tank. If I can mount it somehow to that, and blow towards the front I think that would be ok. It looks too big to mount between the light fixture and top rim of tank.

Yes they do, but not to lite the tank, it is just an indicator that the fan is operational.
