• Thermostatically controlled — the Cool Control 2.0 reads tank temperature via a waterproof probe and switches the fan on and off to hold your setpoint, adjustable in 0.1°C steps between 0°C and 36°C.
• Low running cost — the fan draws a maximum of 4.2 W, a fraction of what a refrigerant chiller uses.
• Runs on Australian mains — the included power supply accepts 220–240 V / 50 Hz, so it works straight off a standard AU power point with no step-down transformer.
• Rim-mount, adjustable angle — clips onto glass up to 20 mm thick, with the fan head angling to aim airflow across the water surface.
• Fresh and marine safe — the temperature probe is built to handle saltwater as well as freshwater systems.

Aqua Medic rates the X-Flow 3001 for aquariums up to approximately 500 litres and states it cools by 2–4°C through evaporation. Neither figure is published against a stated ambient room temperature, so treat them as a general guide rather than a guarantee for a specific Brisbane summer day — the hotter and more humid the room, the less an evaporative fan can achieve. On genuinely hot days, or where you need a guaranteed setpoint regardless of room conditions, a refrigerant chiller is the more predictable option.

This listing bundles the X-Flow 3001 fan unit with the Cool Control 2.0 digital controller, its waterproof temperature probe, and the mains power supply.

Aqua Medic hasn't published whether the X-Flow needs additional water circulation across the surface beyond your existing return or wavemaker flow to work effectively — if you're not sure your tank has enough surface movement, ask us before you buy.

At its maximum draw of 4.2 W running continuously, the fan would cost up to roughly $11 a year (at 30c/kWh) — in practice the Cool Control 2.0 cycles the fan on and off to hold your setpoint, so actual running cost will be lower. Aqua Medic doesn't publish a decibel rating for the fan.

Suitable for: freshwater and marine aquariums up to around 500 L looking to take the edge off summer heat, particularly where a full refrigerant chiller isn't justified.

Not suitable for: larger systems, or any tank where you need a guaranteed temperature regardless of room conditions — evaporative cooling is weather-dependent and Aqua Medic's own figures aren't tied to a stated ambient temperature.

Will this replace a chiller on a hot Brisbane day?

Not reliably on the hottest days. Aqua Medic's 2–4°C evaporative cooling figure isn't published against a stated ambient temperature, so on a very hot, humid day the achievable drop will be smaller than on a mild one. For a guaranteed setpoint regardless of weather, a refrigerant chiller is the safer choice.

Does it work on a freshwater tank?

Yes — the X-Flow 3001 and Cool Control 2.0 are rated for both freshwater and marine systems.

How is temperature controlled?

The Cool Control 2.0's waterproof probe sits in the tank and reports temperature to the controller, which switches the fan on and off to hold your chosen setpoint, adjustable in 0.1°C steps between 0°C and 36°C.

Will it run on Australian power?

Yes. The included power supply accepts 220–240 V / 50 Hz, which covers standard Australian mains, so no separate transformer is needed.

What size tank is it rated for?

Aqua Medic rates it for aquariums up to approximately 500 litres.
