If you mean just having a fan on the tank to blow air around the room, other than the obvious fire hazard / electrocution factor, it shouldn't be a problem..

You may find yourself needing to top off the water level a little more frequently with a fan near the tank though.. I keep an oscillating fan near my 55gal and it's amazing how fast that water evaporates..

And along with cooling you, it could have a cooling effect on your tank also, so you might want to consider that.

OK thanks.

But would the vibrations disturb the fish??? The tank is covered so wouldn't evapourate the water but check on it too see tho.
