SRC Member asg Posted March 7, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 Get more fan but watch out for the evaporation. I used to keep a four footer without chiller Quote 子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐... (you are not the fish so you...) Then: my 4FT low tech selling off tank... (2006) Now: (2014) @Sept 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member jughead Posted March 7, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 im using a dymax fan for my 2 ft temp now maintain around 27-28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrunch Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yes you are able to keep LPS and softies without chiller . But with fans of course . I'm keeping mushrooms, brain, elegance, hammer, torch, bubble, goniopora, jewels and plates . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Daniel Poh Yang Zheng Posted March 7, 2015 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 What fan is good? I am open to up to 2 fans.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member RayL Posted March 7, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 1 cheap fan is enough to maintain temp between 27 to 29. I keep my tank by the window with sunshine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Lee Khim Ann Posted March 7, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted March 7, 2015 i keep hammers and duncans in my 35cm cube with a fan. the fan can keep my temperature at around 25-6 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member F&Mfishlover Posted April 12, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2015 U don't need a chiller. a fan will do. i keep my LPS with a fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Martin Foo Posted August 15, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi if u want a powerful fan with fast cooling power u can try ANS 1000 for small tank and ANS 3000 for bigger tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Martin Foo Posted August 15, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2015 But do watch out for the evaporation,the more powerful the fan the faster the evaporation will take place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Clement Chen Posted August 15, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2015 Best is get a auto top off for the water loss. If not your salinity will fluctuate drastically especially for small sized tank.

Any recommendation on auto top up units? Think more importantly is whats ur tank specs. Are you running a sump? For ATOs get a good and reliable one. If not might flood or even run too low and spoil ur pump. I think JBJ is a good and reliable ATO I am using that. Tunze is also quite good Quote Clem's Clam Corner (Decommed) 60cm x 40cm x 30cm Tank Nano tank reboot v2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small set up only, worse still in the sense that water levels always drop super fast due to the fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Clement Chen Posted August 15, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted August 15, 2015 the smaller the tank the more drastic the water evaporation and salinity swings. Can maybe consider the SMART ATO. should be able to fit for ur small tank. But reliability wise not too sure.

Gd to know a fellow 10g nano reefer using it too Why will the lens get dirty though? Detritus or algae buildup? Any impact on function with dirty lens?

SRC Member edmund_23 Posted August 18, 2015 SRC Member Share Posted August 18, 2015 Personally thinks fan must go with ato for nano tank. Im on 15g nano.. Using boyu 3fans. Evaporation rate 1.5l per day at 26degree constant. So i decide to diy a ato to keep me from topping up twice a day..
