Khan Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi reefers... I'm new to this hobby... I need advice on which corals that do not require chillers to start off my hobby Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiva_youngReefer Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 For me i was able to keep zoanthids and torch coral in my tank without chiller for 5months and they did okaySent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member tamama Posted October 19, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted October 19, 2016 It may be a bit vague to say no chiller. Some people use fan or aircon in room. It all depends. I would say temperature to be less than 29.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member babareef Posted October 19, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted October 19, 2016 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.Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member reefbuilder Posted October 19, 2016 SRC Member Share Posted October 19, 2016 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.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted October 20, 2016 SRC Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2016 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?
