Best small fan for cooling?

[Doberman13]

I have a small cheap desk fan that is hooked up to my inkbird but I feel like it could be better. It hardly ever turned on last year but now that I have a UV on my system the fan is turning on everyday fairly early. I bought a Vornado Flippi but returned it because it wasn't as strong as the cheap one.

What do y'all use?

Don't laugh at me and no judging!!! I don't want a chiller if I don't have to, I'd rather buy corals!

I have the Apex turn my UV pump and light off if the temp reaches a certain point. Have you thought about just running the UV at night?

I have the UV turn off at 745 pm till midnight that helps get the temp down and at night it's not as much of an issue. I have a cyano outbreak in my refugium that I'd rather not have move to the tank. Everything has been doing so well recently I didn't want to change anything.

I keep my apartment at 68 degrees. No fan needed!

I use the same thing. Be careful with rust though. The cage rusted on my last one.

I use the same one @Reefchef uses as well. Its set to kick on at 80.5 and it's been on constantly for the last few weeks with my temp ranging from 81.5 to 82.5. My ATO pumps about 2 gallons a day. Maybe I need to turn off my UV during the day.

I've used these before and like that they are designed for Marine environments with plastic housings.

The same white Air King clip on fan- on Amazon they are around $20 and BRS sells for $35. If you keep them inside a canopy, they rust and have to be replaced routinely.

I run my uv on the same reverse schedule as my refugium

I got the same fan on top of my tank. Does it's job! It's inside the canopy so I don't mind it's looks.

I had this on my 29 and it would drop a couple degrees . No I have the same fan over my refugium lights on the same timer and still works great . 18 months old . The frame is aluminum
