Softies, lps and fishes do well... For SPS, i'll try to get frags from fellow reefers. But again I dont really do new SPS frags except for montis and other easier SPS's

Yeah max temp I see is 31 deg but its during noon only. Not 24hrs. I can say a few factors enabled me to go without a chiller and fan: 1.My room has no direct sunlight 2. I have ZERO pumps touching the water. 3. The corals are 'conditioned' to this temp slowly from chiller to fan to nothing. 4. I have too much balls (haha)

The orange birdnest seems to lighten after being in a low Kh tank for quite a while. Will I be able to get it back to its bright orange color like last time?

More pics. Do give me any comments even criticism as I know im not doing anything conventional. But I have to do disclaimer first what might be ok for me might not be for you! My tank isnt exactly the 'WOW' kind but just to prove that corals can survive higher temperatures. But of course they did that in stages and not immediately. New acro frag to push the limit

Hi all, my tank is 40 gallon 2.5 ft. Equipment is just: 1. mazarra razor 160w 10K 2. MP10 wavemaker 3. AC70 HoB filter running carbon n GFO 4. Chaeto in display tank The rest are just livestocks. A little background, this tank was not taken care of for about a month. No calcium and bicarbonate dosing. Family issues and tank neglected. Wanted to decomm but recently cant bear with it and redid the rockscape, moved corals around. Some of the corals are starting to show signs of deterioting. So the white areas are not STN but the side not exposed to lighting at all.

Hey guys just wanted to share something... I've done some research and realised that natural ocean temperatures like the Indo Pacific have ocean temperatures of up to 33- 34 degrees. I've been to certain marine lfs where their tanks are outdoors and the softies in it are still alive and kicking. So it got me thinking and i've decided to sell my chiller, off my fan and risk it. And viola! No problem! My soft and lps corals are doing well and I even keep SPS like birdnests, monti caps and a millepora. A few reefers who got something from me saw that I operate without chiller or fan at all. N ive been doing that for 9 months already I have no air con installed and the tank temperature stays within 30-31 degrees on a very warm day and 26-27 on a rainy day. Im guessing its not the temperature that matters (unless its really too hot) but the temperature swing that is of more concern. What are you guys comments? Anyone tried without fan or chiller before?

How about a 40 gallon 2.5 ft tank? how many angels then? If im converting to FOWLER

repost

Cool tank!

Any sketch ups on how the rocks are to be placed? Seems like a good idea!

yeah low flow areas is key i think, my other prata like corals started to show skeletons in the high flow areas

nicezzz

wont the algae spread all over the tank?

Seen any regal angels? and how much do they usually go for?

Real kool!

hahahahaha

yeah mushrooms too!

too many expensive equipment to count! I should have started by going thru pasar malam

but my tang doesnt seem to want to go near and the seaweed would jus dissolve and make a mess....

I saw a few lion fish at AM too

Anyone seen a Midas blenny? or orchid dottyback?

Maxspect sold. Decided to keep the MP10. Mod pls close this thread.
