my 5 gallon tank temperature is around 30-31C, planning to add cherry shrimps.
planning to buy a fan to reduce to temperature, what size of fan will help?

CFM = cubic feet/minute, in simple term is the amount of air it moves per minute.

i think the best compromise in term of size vs CFM is still a 12v 8x8x2.5cm DC fan (normal PC ventilation fan)

n about evaporation, i think i read it somewhere, the principle behind cooling an aquarium with a fan is by promoting more evaporation. like wiping sanitizing alcohol on ur hand. when it evaporates, ur hand becomes cool right? so more evaporation =  more temperature lowered.

i think water evaporation is a price to pay for cooling an aquarium with fan. my aquarium has a surface area of 16x13 inch, water from my aquarium evaporates approx. 1cm per day. im using a single 8x8x2.5 12v DC fan only. it is suffice to lower my aquarium temp from 30-31 deg C to 25-26 deg C, n sometimes in the morning it can go as low as 24. i dun even hav AC in my room...hehe...

thanks for the information here~! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
my tank is about 5 gallons, is it enough to lower the temperature by adding only one 8x8x2.5cm DC fan?

thanks! smile.gif

I've observed my newly setup tank and the temperature is between 27-29C..
does this temperature meets the requirement for cherry and fire red shrimps?

thanks smile.gif
