actually there is serious QC problem with Hailea. I recently went to a reefer's house and realised his HC-150 model was already kicking in while we were chatting. It is super quiet!! I would say it is 80% quieter than mine. Awfully pissed and dissappointed at Hailea. If only the bigger names can be cheaper... Time to save up for it P.S To the idiot 'Newbie' police, stay out of my post! You are very rude
-
Not sure about the model but anyway there is only one model for IQ5, you can check with Aqua Empire. It a very small one that fits exactly into the middle compartment and u need to get another air pump for it. Should be slighty above two red notes
-
There is a skimmer built for IQ5 itself. Have a friend who is using it for months and so far only clear water
-
welcome to the club! I have HC130 and it is ..... Noisy! try playing around the valve either tightening or lossening it, may help a little.
-
bro, I have seen this in Nanyang and C328 before
-
I sold my Iceprobe. Last time I used it for my IQ3 to keep CRS shrimps then I upgraded to 2ft with chiller. Now itchy start IQ5 marine. Hehe because I used to keep marine long long time ago. You see my forum registered date loh
-
I think it can be done. Just monitor the Iceprobe performace for a few days noting down the average temperature thoughout the day. From there you can set timer to on it to cover those high temperature period. Do note that the Iceprobe take at least 30-45mins (depends on volume) to slowly lower temperature to your desired target
-
Nice setup! Bro, take more pictures of your tank pls.
-
I covered that concern too. If the fan really spoils, you can easily find one in SLT. No worries It is the TEM itself that may not last more than 2 years I guess. I think it will slowly loose it's efficiency but I never used that long to prove this point though. IMO, install it where there is high flow so the cooler water spreads easily. Same idea for chillers, flowrate must be good for chiller to work properly
-
I was also very bothered by this at one time, deciding which is best for me... In the past there was Resun CL85 also using TEM but it still requires another pump which my small IQ3 cannot use. Iceprobe for small tank still the best. If you are using IQ series, just chuck it on the overflow. Perfect as the size is just right
-
That 20L tank had nothing except for a overhead filter. I tried my Iiceprobe on it hoping to upgrade it to a bigger tank. One thing to note, my Iceprobe was at the overflow of IQ3 so I guess it helped to distribute the cooled water efficently. As for the 20L, I had problem mounting it so I kept it very far from the water flow. I guessed the efficiency wasnt really there so 27-28 can still be improved I think. For small pico tank, Iceprobe still the best because tank like that have space constraint so cant install another pump for ext chiller. Iceprobe is also super silent, which I like very much I seen people installing two for bigger tank. If only Iceprobe is cheap...

hi bro, I have used it on a IQ3 in the past for my freshwater shrimps before. IQ3 is only 6L +/- and without Iceprobe my temperature is around 29-30. Iceprobe can bring it down to 23-24. I did not use it's temperature controller, just on it 24/7 If you wan to maintain at specific temperature then will have to buy controller. Do note: I tried it on a 20L tank before and can only bring down to 27-28

Here is a quick read up for ya on Clownfishes. Very easy to understand. I guess your problem is due to too many clown in one tank if your tank is small and also different species of Clownfishes Clownfish Care Not many people in here are tolerant to newbie like us
-
but the funny thing is that the clown who is eating pellet is actually the smaller size guy. It is the other bigger chap who refuse to eat and keep spitting them out. Now he dun even look at the pellets... Worries me a bit. He only gets active when I put in Cyclopeeze
-
Both items collected by nice bro. Thanks
-
thanks for all the help. ok i noticed the fellow took it in mouth but always spit it out in the beginning. Now he dun even look at it. Haha the other fellow loves the pellet.
-
Just got myself two small common percula from two different tank from Ah Beng. One of them loved my new life spectrum thera+a pellet but the other one refused to eat at all but this chap goes crazy when I put in cyclopeeze... Should I be worried of this? Just worry that the cyclopeeze not good enough since the pellet have better nutrition and garlic Thanks Newbie here

Letting go a Harlequin shrimp around 1.5 inch. Bought today from Iwarna. realise it only eat starfishes. Kindly take note only $5 to adopt it and will give away some cheato please sms me at 9one88995one sengkang area
-
dun really like the idea of feeding it living starfish... looks like no choice I have to sell it to someone who is willing to do that thanks
-
Hi all, due to my ignorance I realised that the harlequin shrimp I bought needs to feed on starfishes. Are there any other food that they can eat? I dun wan to starve it If no choice then I have to quickly sell it off
