i have just realize that the switch is at the wrong place, even if the fans are off, the adapter would still be working.

amazing workmanship and idea. Hats off.. Been looking for this DIY for quite sometime :)

I still feel that there is some information missing as to how did you connect the wires to the switch? n then that switch to the adaptor?

Bit of engineering information please? :)

These Fans are DC fans I guess, normally used in CPU's SMPS system. I bought them for Rs. 50/-. You also need a DC to AC adapter with proper ampier to get this working.

I am using these CPU fans since a long and running with landline phone adaptor. One of my fan is working from last 6 years.
@K.K.
For a 2 footer tank you can use 2 CPU fans to cool the tank water. In four footer tank you can use Industrial fans. One 4 inch Industrial fan will be work fine.
