    I found a really quiet fan that will do the job for my tank but it's just the fan. Does anyone have any suggestions on mounting brackets so I can mount it on my rimless tank?

    Might want to give some details on the fan so people know what your talking about. Cant give ideas on mounting without seeing what your mounting.

    Excellent point....it's a 3" square axial fan. I picked it up for $20 and I am trying to find a pic now. The fan I had was just too loud....louder than the vacuum cleaner.
