These were what I purchased and used from svc.com over a year ago. I bought the fan speed controller, but didn't need it. The noise was minimal and the air movement was just right for my 180 gal canopy.

SilenX IXP-76-18 Ixtrema Pro 120mm x 38mm 18dBA 90CFM Fan (2x$19.99)

AC/DC 12V 5A Power Supply Adapter with 4-Pin Molex Connector (2x$14.99)

SilenX Ixtrema Single Channel Internal Fan Speed Controller (2x$5.95)

Well I want to add a bigger fan for my oceanic chiller but I need to controll the fan so that it is on when the chiller is on and same thing with the MH. And I have no more room on my DC8 so that the neptune can controll it. So that is why I am looking at a fan speed controller

Look on Newegg or Tigerdirect. Those are the two best sites for everything PC. They'll also tell you the db levels of the fans, that way you know before hand what your getting in to.

Just buy a 110v fan and wire it in on the load side of the control for your chiller. Chiller comes on, fan comes on.
