thanks for sharing! i personally like the small profile of the light too. but your lights only on for 4 hours a day (excluding night time)?

Yes plus sunrise & sunset timing are set on 2 hours to ramp up and down. Yes by 7pm it's only the royal blue sort of moonlight conditions, the corals still open up actually.

Nice tank! We have a very similar set up except I went for the AL30 chiller which seems to hold up ok. Looking forward to more updates!

Can post your light setting of your prime?

where you get the outlet of the pipe flow where you get it?

[finind]

Thought of getting this nuvo nano 10. Do you guys find the price steep at $175 (tank only, F&M)?

My old tank already used for 5 years. How often should we change tank in case the glue give way?

Just bought the AOL AL60... seems ok. Noise level is much lower than HC-100a but still the fan sound is not whisper quiet

Need it to struggle with my 50L tank for a while till I get the 30L tank

Hi hi! It's my first tank, and if i had a 2nd chance, I would get a bigger tank..haha. I think depends on how well the tank is made for the lifespan of the glue.

Yeah AL60 is great but mine is a little wonky now. used to maintain the temperature, now it fluctuates between 2-3degress.

Why you want to downsize  your tank may I ask?

fluctuates between 2-3degress? as in?

AL60 seems no problem in cooling my 50+ litre tank. Those fans inside look like PC fans! .. ha, can replace myself.

Wonder what technology this chiller is using? not just fan and heat sink/fins ba?

wanted to downsize cos easier to maintain perhaps ... try not to get too tire maintaining the tank

also lower maintenance cost

actually even thought of stopping but seems like downsize should address my concern and get to keep my coral

As in the chiller cant maintain the temperature that I set. It will swing 2-3 degrees above the set temperature. 

Mine's only 10gallon but it hard to maintain a stable water parameter.

A bigger tank would be more forgiving if I'm not wrong but also would cost more. =(

How did you connect the chiller? connect through return pump??

The chiller has a pump by itself. Taking the water from the last chamber to chiller and pumping it back again.

[Jack 123456]

hi what return pump are you using? and any pump recommendations for IM 10 with a price tag under 40$ and which as enough power to go through a chiller sitting under the cabinet?

thanks

thanks

I'm using this for my return pump, http://www.sicce.com/prodottiDettaglio_eng.php/prodotto=syncra-nano-wet-dry-140-430-lh/idprodotto=97

And for chiller pump I'm using this http://www.sicce.com/prodottiDettaglio_eng.php/prodotto=micra/idprodotto=37

I think its about $23 from FnM. I like this brand actually. Haven't tried other brands so I'm not sure about it.

You should buy a spare pump and keep it in case anything happens.  Thats what happen to my stock pump and luckily I had the Sicce.

From this image can't really tell how you plot your light setting.

you set it yourself or you get it from the net?

Hi Ash,

Light starts from 10am ramping up to the above setting at 12pm.

From 4pm to 8pm it ramps down to nightmode which I set  (  UV20% V20% RY40% B20% G0% DR0% CW0% )

From 8pm to 1am everything slow goes to 0%

Its my own setttings actually but I guess it really up to your own preference.
