New and need a little cooling help

sra_chipmunk · 01/27/2008, 08:25 PM

I am in the process of building my canopy for my first reef tank. I am stuck on a cooling fan set up.

I have a 75 gallon tank and I will have an enclosed hood. I have been asking around localy and on a different forum but I would like to expand my areas of intel so I am presenting this question to you guys.

will 4 or 5 of these fan's http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON-12...d-pr-3771.html

and have them all wired into one of these http://www.coolerguys.com/840556029977.html

work out for me? Is it possible to wire 4 or 5 fans into on of those AC to DC Adapter, 110v AC to 12v DC converter's?

This is what I have come up with so far.

I used 2 4" Power supply fans off an old computer I had laying around I wired both of them in-line with a 12v Transformer I just used an old transformer from a phone charger works like a champ.
