No Hassle Diy 4" Fan Bracket!

[GATECRASHER]

1. setup in less than 5 minutes

2. material easy to source

3. reliable

just get two plastic divider sucker holders and saw off one side of it and just screw the sharp screw do drive through the plastics divider and attach the fan to it.

due to laziness, i just tied mine with plastic strings but u really ought to use a screw. drive the screw through the plastic and not the hole cos the divider's hole is too big.

here are some pics!

erm.. i think how they do it is that the fan blows at the water at angle to enable more wind to connect with the surface

[planetg]

spider is right. like 45 degrees to the surface. more effective

I think he used those Luohan Divider plastic and cut it into half.

[GATECRASHER]

Those clips are used to hold the aquarium dividers for the louhans. just saw one side off for cosmetic purposes only. remember to remove the plastic suckers.

i think ur current plastic strings method would be better for long run compare to screw..... even stainless steel screw will get rusted veryfast if use so near to the SW surface....

How do you connect the fan so that it runs. Is it battery operated or by electric.

Thanks.

when u buy the fan, it comes with a wire and a plug. just plug it to the fan ok liao!

the sad news is that my temp dropped several degrees over a day and now all my fishes got white spot.
