Hi guys , been monitoring my tank , currently cycling. Temperature during day is 27c ,night around 26.5c .Do i still need to use a chiller if i planning to keep corals?

Bro, yours is how many ft? Any fan?

[Athier]

Sori if im right it is 1.5ft.

To my understanding is when stuffs that gonna be added in

might increase the temp.

[tropic]

With your pumps running still 26.5?

With chiller you can minimize temp fluctuate. Can also use fan but top up more often.

Got advises from others that corals best @ 27deg.

[Athier]

So may need chiller or fan to maintain the temp.

I hope the seniors can advise better cos im tinking whether to use chiller too.

My tank size is 2ft 24g , using fan, so far temperature fluctuate only 1-1.5 degree . The only thing is I got to top up water every morning . But if my temperature is ok for corals then I can save money and bill no need buy chiller

No need chiller if you can have that kind of temp after running the lights, pumps, wavemaker, etc. but make sure your thermometer is accurate though. I think 28c is good enough for corals unless you are keeping SPS which I'm not familiar on the ideal temp.

Ya true ,I will test the temp with another thermometer to confirm..if still the same then power.but will topping up few ltr of aged dechlorinated water affect sps growth

in future?

Unless your external environment (eg.aircon room) is constant throughout the year, I would recommend to check your temp also during the hotter season. just to be on the safe side.

yup definitely bro thanks for the heads up.Never expect just fan could maintain such temperature cause got try use on my freshwater ,not so effective.
