  1. my tank water volume should be around 12g including IOS. I was also thinking to supplement the iceprobe with my current 10cm fan if i decide to get it. in fact I find room aircon with PC fan very effective for my nano if room aircon can be programmed to on from 3pm to 9pm everyday, and PC fan keep running, then could be sufficient to keep the water cool for whole day though temp. may swing from 26 to 28 degree. .. electricity bill should be another $10 per month maybe so for 3yrs, est. more than iceprobe lifespan, is $360 .. slightly more than iceprobe cost ...
  2. you mean with the SLT blue led?
  3. If the price is not so steep then maybe dont have to consider so much and give it a try else is better to check carefully... waterflow... hmm My nano is a IOS tank. I plan to put it directly over the main tank, just hold it with eggcrate at one corner of the tank... no drilling of hole. wonder will that be efficient? actually the biggest worry for iceprobe will be the fan... hopefully it can last for as long when i use PC fans, I replace them like changing AA battery
  4. what were the other equipment running in the 20L tank?
  5. Thanks bro for the info! Have been reading the reviews and there are VERY mix results makes it really hard to decide claimed 6-8 degree for 10G .. may be the catch is without any pumps or light .... ... and I only need 3 degree .... for the price without clear cut proven track record a bit skeptical so far the smallest and easily available less expensive chiller is haelia 100a .. similar price as iceprobe wih controller ... but my IOS return compartment only has 4 litre of water on average ... any concern to use a chiller?
  6. anyone still using iceprobe? so far how's the performance? is it reliable? Plan to use it to cool a 40+ litre nano with 18W led light, 7W return pump, 5W wavemaker and probably another 5-10W pump for fluidized reactor or skimmer. possible to easily bring down 3 degree with room temp. ard 29-30 degree ?
  7. how fast the water temp. rise may also depend on whether there are many high power equipment, possible? my small nano after cooling to 26.5 using room air-con (run 3hrs) and a 10cm fan before midnight, the temp went up to 27.8 degree ard noon the next day. My led light is 18W and return pump is 7W. Maybe low power helps to slow the temp. rise .... but from noon till evening, temp will increase to 28.5 or more if only rely on 10cm fan. A 2 degree+ swing is it too much?
  8. ya looks like too much salt I prefer to use airstone + stirring
  9. bro, thanks for the heads-up so all the moonlight product going nowhere?
  10. for my small tank I guess 1 x 3W led more than enough currently using SLT blue led after lumenaqua mini is off ... limegreen yuma turns yellow color
  11. also waiting for hydor blue moonlight
  12. is bought from our sponsors ... can be very open mine is the mini 30
  13. diatoms gona boom? how come? all this while I was thinking "Heng Ah, use distilled water no diatoms" ... but has been cycled for more than 5 weeks and no sign of diatoms so far.... actually one of the compartment was sized to fit the tunze or Nac QQ or even Boyu WG310 but wana to try ATS first .. if failed then try skimmer
  14. 37 x 35 x 30cm main and 22cm IOS light - lumenaqua mini 2white 2 blue salt mix - distilled water with D-D H2Ocean return pump Hydor pico 1000L wavemaker - pending stock for Hydor koralia nano 900 skimmer-less - change water + ATS in the making Fan cool + room air-con if temp exceed 28.5 degree ... pending to get iceprobe filtering - cotton + carbon + rowaphos 1 firegoby 1 flamegoby 1 coral band shrimp 12 Nassarius snails limegreen yuma, green star polyp and tube worm simple tank, simple LS, simple pass-time
  15. yes .. at least look similar to the T5 10k plus actinic blue that I used to have
  16. after cycling 5 weeks plus, with nitrite =0 and nitrate increased to 5-10mg/L ... changed 50% of the water. This time using D-D H2Ocean salt though phosphate is still 0 but there is green stain on/in the glue at the edges is that alage? how to remove?
  17. looking for new hydor pump, nano and blue moonlight but aquamarin supply like shrinking by the week and new shipment ... one month ago coming till now still coming
  18. wah your liverock like got jackie chan fighting aliens wor
  19. then have to increase budget to 4digit liao
  20. have you check out jbj cube? but price will be high as compare to custom make but custom make you need to know exactly what you need .. if you go kelantan
  21. so far very satisfy with the brightness of the mini ... very power and the coverage is surprisingly wide ... just like what the 3D chart showed. Would like to know what blue is the mini using?
