Dual Satellite CF Fixture

[sgtbones]

My Satellite Dual 65W fixture arrived today. Very pleased with the light, however the cooling fan is as loud as a jet. Does anyone else use this fixture and if so is this normal. Also, I was wondering if anyone has swapped out the fan.
Thanks in advance.

Loud is right. A couple of people have tried it already including myself but the result is the same. The only way to go about silencing it I think is a bigger fan which will not fit in the fixture. It has to be ducted in... that's what I'm trying to do. My tank will look like a life support system by the time I'm done with it. Hah!

go with some fans meant for comps.
