If u can somehow maintain water temperature at 28 degrees then correct me if I'm wrong most corals except SPS can survive. But do keep in mind they won't thrive and grow as u would like. Most reefers keep their tanks at least 26 degrees. Without a chiller it's very hard to maintain consistent temperature with so many water pumps running.

I am new to this forum but kept a reef tank for several years now. I am able to keep most softies (excluding xenias) and LPS without chiller because I have shallow tanks (max 30cm ht). Evaporation is quite hight though. Have to top up wi DI water.

This is my small set up without chiller/fan.

Ambient temperature runs around 30-33degC during the day (windows closed in study room). Simple timer based auto top up (1minute, 3x a day)

Keeping zoanthids, GSP & a yellow tang. I'd say the zoanthids are doing ok but they can probably do better with coolor water.

No way that even simple SPS like birdsnest is able to survive here.

That's in the study room near the window.

ATO is a 5L bottle, water is pumped via a Tom's Aqua Lifter from the bottle to tank. Power to the aqua lifter is via a standard digital timer which is set to turn on for 1 minute each time (3 times a day). With this, its able to maintain a rather consistent water level throughout the week.

Oh, and that's an AIO tank. Uses 1 filter sponge & a basket of bio meter to keep water clean. Powered by Eheim 600 pump + MP10 wavemaker.

 

Back to threadstarter's original topic - seeking any other inputs on a setup without chiller. Anymore examples?

      Decommissioning Sales of 5f Reef Tank

      After more than 14 years into this hobby, I am disheartened but to end this hobby. I have a 5ft tank that is controlled by APEX and Redsea controller. It is very complete in my opinion as I have a total of 10 doser, UV, water and leak sensor, water level monitoring, waterflow monitoring, AI HD lighting, dual return pump, Reefmat 1200, Nyos skimmer, external refugium tank, Trident KH, CA, Mg automatic tester, Vortech Wavemaker and many more. There are fish and coral hence I reckon I need to decom this in stages unless there is a kind soul to take everything at one go. One of my favourite fish is Achilles Tang. I will try to post more pictures and meanwhile, do PM me for more information. I would give priority to mass sales over individual item hence please understand.
