Air circulators...(fans)

Does anyone own a Vornado???
Is it worth the high price tag???
Will it put out more air than a regular 24" box fan...

I'm thinking about getting 2 instead of my 24"box fan if they can outperform it by double....
What do you guys think???

I dont have a Vornado but i have a Blizzard which is a similar one.
1/2 the price and in my point of view, works just the same. Thats my opinion.
I dont know why vornados are expensive.

I have a couple of these (one for the tank and one for me). Best fan I've ever owned. It has mitigated the need to buy a chiller for my tank and running the air conditioner for me. I have it set up so it comes on when the MH bulbs do and it blows across the top of the tank. I need to top off about a gallon each day, but better than the cost of a chiller IMO.

Thanks Chapz and Cybermeez.... How big are your tanks???
Mine is 180 display and 125 sump, and the box fan has done well until the summer arrived so I will be trying 2 fans in the hope that they will be stronger than the one fan...
Do you guys think they will be???

Okay you have the premium which is also the 7 series with softer tones and better stand.. Higher class, for people with white boats that they don't go fishing on..lmao..

Sorry for jumping into your thread, but I would like to know...
Can you please describe where the fan is located with relationship to the tank, is it aiming at the front, is it higher than the tank.

 

[Bob 1000]

Here you go..

 

[juan319]

Nice...

 

[Bob 1000]

Thank you but I am only holding the temp at 78.6 on a daily running fan in 80 degree weather with a reefkeeper2 controlling it...
