mengyang_neo Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yup I feel chiller will be good, I used to keep without chiller, the colour of the fishes not so vibrant.

SRC Member Reefzzz Posted May 23, 2012 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 23, 2012 how about just for fishes like royal gamma, flame angel, black clowns, dart fishes and a few wrasses... Not sure if just installing a cooling fan blowing on the surface of the water sufficient.. Since it is fish only, planning to just put some LED for just some visual Quote Main Tank: 5 x 1 x 1 Return from overflow: Eheim compact+ 5000 Lighting: 2x 54W T5 Skimmer: Deltec SC 1350 Chiller: Arctica 1/10 Wave Maker: Tunze Nano Wavebox & Tunze 6055 with Photocell Monitor 1: American Marine Pinpoint pH monitor Monitor 2: American Marine Pinpoint Temperature monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member digibee Posted May 23, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 23, 2012 Hi, yes, fan can cool down the tank too, but evaporation will be higher. You can always test out with fan(s) first. Quote () Happy will do ... (o_o) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
