Quietest Fans
I am looking for the quietest 3 or 4" fan for my canopy. I have 4 VHO's and 2 NO's. I am looking for 25dB or lower. Thanks!

IC fans are the loudest at full bore according to IC themselves. Noise rating 45 dB at idle to 51.db at full speed.
http://reefcentral.com/vbulletin/sho...hlight=IC+fans I would look at radio shack. Even the Hosfelts 115 VAC Low Noise Boxer Fans are only 41 dB

Ltspd, did you get new fans? If so, what kind and from where? I read the Orion fans are quiet. There's a thread on RC that says the 51 cfm fan rates 25dB. Do you know if this fan is any good?

I am now using no fans, only well placed vent holes. I have no heat problems, and the living room is much quieter

 What a added benifit  I can say that the temp probe is a very nice feature, its ashame they cant use a even quieter fan, and a lower price.

you can get a temp control switch from most hydroponic stores.it allows you to have a pre set temp when the fans come on ,ive been thinking of getting one .the are about 45 bucks,and you can hook all youre fans to it.
