Just wondering where to pick up a replacement fan for our fixture. We've got a CSL PC fixture and the fan took a dive. I had heard that they were the same as computer fans but the fan I pulled from an old case is 12v and the one that came out of the light is 115v. Can we get a 115v fan at a best buy or radio shack or are all computer fans 12v? Also is the fan needed at all or is it just an accessory. Its just a 2x65 pc fixture. Thanks.
 
well we cant post a link to competetor sites althouth im not sure if the one I know online is really a competitor.
there is a website for aquarium parts jsut search on bing .com and it should come up.

They absolutely do make 115v versions of those fans, and they are more common than most think. That type of fan is most often associated with computers where they are always 12v, but they are found in all sorts of things at all different voltages.
Jameco dot com is my place of choice for fans. You'll need the dimensions in length/width and thickness, the approximate CFM rating, and the voltage (which you already have).
Jameco's site has a drillable filter where you can narrow it down to something that'll work for you. You'll want to select "AC Tube Axial Fans" in the width/length you need.
Length/width will need to match, thickness can vary depending on how much room is in your fixture. CFM needs to be the same or greater (though going too much greater will make it noisier).
Also keep in mind that 120v fans can come with either terminals or leads. I assume you need leads, so if you get a fan with terminals, be sure to get a matching cord. Jameco sells those too.
