Sorry Bros, type too fast. Yes you are right, it should be 12cm or 120mm. Thanks for the correction. Cheers.

Hi Bro Plantmania, tested out both, but prefer the Tornado as it is using 230V AC. The problem with both blowers effectiveness is the challenge to DIY it to blow in an angle that will make it more effective.

That is why my preference is max up to 2 feet if using just blower alone.

On top of that the Tornado is rather heavy due to the transformer to take 230V AC. So be careful when DIY as the last thing is for it to drop into the tank.

Without the right angle the effectiveness of the blower for evaporation is poor. Do take note of the weight of the Tornado when DIY as it is much heavier on one side with the transformer.
