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?
