Terrarium Circulation w/ Fan Q's???

RSS · #1 (**permalink**) 03-04-2009, 09:50 PM

I have had a terrarium set up before with a small fish tank but a lack of air circulation had some bad effects. :shock: I know about the little computer fans, but I could never find out how to convert them. I mean there's just the wires, and the adapter???? does that have a plug for an outlet? It'll probably be like obvious, but if anyone can explain the assembly of this I would greatly appreciate it...

Thanks, Tim :biggrin:

ya, i have a 12v PC fan and i cut the wires, used electrical tape and spliced the two wires into an old motorola razr charger. the phone charger is only 5v but it runs the fan fine, and its almost completely silent. i use it on a 47g tall tank. so i think that any kind of plug thats rated under 12v should work fine if you just splice the wires. i don't think you will be able to tell which is +/-, so if it doesn't work the first time, switch the wires. Hope this helps
