I have a Finnex 48" strip light with four T-5 lights over my 55 gallon tank. Light is very nice EXCEPT for the fan. It is NOISY. My other lights on other tanks are compact flourescent with no fan. They have vents in the top - passive "hot air rises" I guess. The fan seems to run at high speed. I guess the noise is a vibration. 1)Anyone know if I can run this without the fan? If I do, what is the risk/downside? 2)I was thinking of removing the fan and drilling small holes in the top? Opinions on that? -- Bob Alston bobalston9@YAHOO.com Cell phone: 214.770.1140 http://webpages.charter.net/bobalston __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
