Is that using acrylic? Where can i get acrylic with such a big hole. Just got 2 ac fans from SLT this afternoon, now, thinking of ways to mount on my tank... This looks like a good idea to me.

The acrylic sheet is 10mm thick. The holes are self drilled to fit the fans.

Most shops that deal with acrylic will be able to fabricate it for you but it is not cheap. I got quotations from three companies for that one shown and the asking price are $60, $65 and $90. It will be much cheaper if you buy the acrylic and drill, saw, file it yourself.

You can get it from Sim Lim Tower. It cost $30++.

Whao! With that amount, i can buy a whole sheet of acrylic. Hmm... I've got a few acrylic sheets lying around at home, does anyone has the tools to cut that hole? If i'm not wrong, the cutter which looks like a mathematical compass can do the job. Any one know of this?

very simple. get a divider holder, those that they use to hold the aquarium divider top separate flowerhorns and saw one side of the holder off. then just insert a screw through your fan's 'hole' and screw it onto the plastics divider.

If you intend for maybe up to three fans, could try the below. Be generous with the hot glue when you make the joint. Another tip is not to press the two sides too closely, leave a 1-2 mm gap. It will provide a better bond that a thin layer of glue between them.

Bro,

U shld able to get them from hardware shop.But I think you need to buy at least 4'*4 '.(You need at least a 8 mm thickness to prevent warp.

The actual size and the hole have to cut yourself.

Bro,

How can?Those divider are too thin and the holes are too small for the air to flow through.

I don't think so.10 MM ACYLIC ARE expensive.

i use stove to heat the acrylic to the shape i want.

[leeweixiang]

may i ask a question? ....what is the use of the fans...if it is used to cool water , then is it effective?

aiyah very very very simple one. but i no time to take pic. i'll see whether i can post pic tomorrow night or not cos all of my marine friends are also using the plastic divider to do our own DIY fan bracket. less then 2 bucks and reliable.

dont go out and spent unnecessary money

[cool water]

hi guys whats the diff between a AC and a DC fan? and how many should i get for a 3footer?

[khengguan]

maxifire, u can get the fan c/w original fan mounting, it has safety wire connection and easy to mount on.

For DIY fan, the wire terminals is likely to contaminate salts and it can cause

electrocute. u can get the fan at Pasir ris Farmway 2, Marine shop.

it cost 40/- only and is quite safe.

Sinner, one fan is good enough, it can bring down the temperature from 29 to 26deg c.

but u have to top up water daily. (Refer to the above message which i just sent out for maxifire.)

[sinner]

one fan is good enough? should i get the AC or DC?

the one's in the market is AC.

[Bob]

the one's in the market is AC.

If gonna plug directly to your household socket,then you should buy 230VAC.

Otherwise you gonna tap to some power source that powered 24vdc.

DO NOT VICE VERSA.
