most people recommends me chiller.. i cant get 25-27c even with 2 fans.

Get the chiller. With fans, you have to deal with fluctuating temperatures. especially in our SG weather, what if the room temp is at 31degrees. fans can only bring down to 2 or 3 degrees at most. You will have no control over this. And you have to do frequent DI/RO water top up to your tank due to evaporation. That equals to more work. Just get a chiller that can cool down the water to a desired consistent temperature no matter what the room temperature is and will be.

As for water flow to the chiller, to fast of a flow is also not good coz the chiller won't have time to chill the water thats flowing through. You don't need a fast flow of water. To have control over this, u can try putting a shut-off valve in between the pump and the chiller so u can manually control the flow. resun450 is too big for for your tank IMO.

and please don't cycle your tank with fishes or any LS in it... these are living breathing organisms. sit out and wait for the tank for finish its cycle.

Add 1 piece of market prawn, and dose with bacteria for now. Cycling is the stage where your goal is to achieve a healthy colony of bacteria that will help to consume harmful waste later on.... nothing else. don't worry about any nutrients in your tank for the time being. looking forward to an established tank of urs

Ohh I always thought that tank threads should just continue from day 1 to present day, as long as the glass tank remain the same.

Well then I'll take a look at your other tank thread then..
