Are 2 fans enough for a 40 gallon tank?

I bought an azoo fan on sale and it has 2 fans connected together. It is very quiet which is great.

Interesting, I've never used connected fans. Maybe I'll try it one day:) what's their diameter?

Watch your humidity levels - fans that push too much air can blow all the humidity out of a terrarium and shock your plants, or just make the humidity level lower than the plants need. Is the speed adjustable?

Moof, I think these are the fans he got - http://www.petstore.com/ps_viewitem.asp ... ct=AZ71021

It's roughly 8" by 4"

No the speed is not adjustable but its not to high though.
