ISTA Cooling Fan 2 Fan for Aquarium

The ISTA Cooling Fan with two fans provides a practical and affordable way to combat overheating in your aquarium. Excessive heat can stress fish, corals, and invertebrates, leading to health problems and even death. This clip-on fan system increases surface water evaporation, effectively lowering the overall water temperature. Its adjustable design allows you to direct airflow precisely where it’s needed. The low-voltage operation ensures safety and energy efficiency. Ideal for freshwater and saltwater aquariums, particularly those with sensitive inhabitants or during heat waves. Regular use can help maintain a stable temperature range, promoting the health and well-being of your aquarium ecosystem.

Features:

• Dual Fan Design: Provides increased airflow compared to single-fan models, resulting in more effective cooling.
• Adjustable Angle: The fan unit can typically be tilted or rotated, allowing you to direct the airflow across the water surface for optimal evaporation.
• Clip-On Mounting: Easily attaches to the rim of most standard aquariums. The clip is usually padded or rubberized to prevent scratching the glass or acrylic.
• Low Voltage Operation: Safe for use around water and consumes minimal energy. Usually operates on 12V DC.
• Quiet Operation: Designed to minimize noise, avoiding disturbance to you and your aquatic pets. The actual noise level can vary, but they are generally considered quiet.
• Compact Size: Doesn’t take up excessive space and maintains a relatively low profile on your aquarium.
• Easy to install: It is easy to install.
• Durable Construction: typically from quality plastic.

Technical Information (This may vary slightly depending on the exact model and batch, always check the product packaging/manual):

• Number of Fans: 2
• Power Source: 12V DC (Usually comes with an AC adapter/power supply)
• Power Consumption: Low (typically a few watts, e.g., 2-5W. Check the specific model’s label).
• Airflow: Variable, but designed for small to medium aquariums. Specific CFM (cubic feet per minute) ratings are often not provided for these types of fans, as they are designed for gentle, evaporative cooling rather than high-volume air movement.
• Material: Typically ABS plastic (housing) and metal (fan blades, possibly).
• Dimensions: Varies, but generally compact. Example (approximate): 15cm x 10cm x 5cm (This is an example; actual dimensions will vary). Please check product listing.
• Tank Rim Compatibility: Designed to fit standard aquarium rims. Check the maximum rim thickness the clip can accommodate (usually up to 10-12mm, or even a bit more).
• Expected Temperature Reduction: Typically 2-4°C (3.6-7.2°F). This is highly dependent on ambient room temperature, humidity, aquarium size, and water volume. It is not a chiller and will be less effective in very hot and humid conditions.
• Cable Lenght: The power cable is usually. 1-1.5 meters.
