Dymax W-5 and W-8

Ingwe · 22-01-2011, 01:40 AM

I'm considering one of these for my tank.. they look better than the normal pc fans, but according to the dymax website have a lower output of air..

are they good enough for a 1.5 feet tank and are they noisy?

There's a review article on PFK on this fan. Follow this URL - http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u...t.php?sid=3474

The line that says 'It is not the quietest of accessories...' made me changed my mind of buying one as I'm planning to use this in the bedroom and minimum noise level is a must.

haha thanks for the article.. its not for the bedroom.

how does it compare to mr.aqua tornado fan?

I'm using that now, thinking of switching so I'll have space to upgrade my light set

avex.. if you're looking for one that'll be placed in the bedroom the tornado fan is as quiet as it gets imo.

woah.. thats quite xiong. Having it outside has it advantages too lah.

Any bros with experience with these dymax fans?

I have the W-5 and it is noisy! Like a mini plane engine

I managed to modify it with lower voltage making it's RPM lower and thus not so noisy.

Ingwe · 22-01-2011, 03:40 AM

nice.. how is the airflow and how much did it cool the tank?

I'm quite reluctant to buy the normal PC fans and my current fan tanks up too much space, any suggestions?
