USED adaptor/transformer/inverter (many names lol)~

120v input 12v DC output, snip off the end and wire it to an old pc fan.

Wire the black to the black and the red to the other mixed color wire. I secure w/ electrical tape and wire nuts.


watch towards the end of this video.....

see here in red? thats our inverter from an old phone....

MarineCorpFarmr - I tried to use a 12v fan from an old CPU and spliced it in before the thermostat and it blew the fan. Any suggestions? Is a 120 higher voltage? Excuse my ignorance... I am definitely not an electrician. Some sites say it is better not to have a fan the last three days. Silver1313 - do you have a high hatch rate with no fan?

Thanks for the info! I will take out some of the water (for I already used up all of my marbles- three whole bags of them) and hopefully it will be good. How much water will evaporate from day 19 to day 20 to 21?
