Water temp for LPS tank

[koniyakutz]

Hi guys,

What temp do you maintain your LPS tank at? I find that my LPS opens/expands well if I set my chiller at 27-29 degrees, at 26-28 degrees it does not expand as much.

My tanks at 27-28, LPS opens big

[somebody]

the higher the adjusted water temp for the tank, the lesser the chiller will work right?? =)

*sorry for highjacking....

my water temp is about 29, LPS seems quite opened up to me... hehe.

mine set at 28 now... LPS all doing fine

[Alvin Tan]

mine temp is 28..LPS and softies opens up fine..

[acidjazz]

i set between 26 degrees and 27 degrees. works perfectly for me.

mine is 27.5 durind day, nite 29. open widely also. maybe LPS doesn't want such a cool temperature gua..............need to do research first, kekekeke!!!

26 - 28 is an ideal temp for my tank.

30 degrees is high enough to melt lps. I ask henry before abt this he say that best keep the temperature below 28.

i already used 3 maxpro fans ma....cant belived the temp also cannot drop enought...should i add more fans....or my ventilator/position of fans r wrong...

two of my fan i put downward water...1 more i used to blow in the air from outside the tank...

how ur guys opinion...

well i reckon if u use ml lights, fans will not be enough. From own experience when temp above 30 degrees, lps dont open as big while my mushrooms dont open at all. I hv retired my old chillr n r using t5s with fans keeping temp between 26.5-28.5.... so maybe u shd consider chiller if u wanna continue with mh.

[kasimselamat]

emmm....i also heard dat T5 also panas...but not so hot as MH....maybe my observation during dis week...if the temp cannot drop...might change to T5.....

emmm but very difficult to find 2.5fts t5 or below than dat in penang.....

hehhehe

if i can drop temp to 29C-adding some more fans....can i keep mushroom..hammer...easy coral...can???

so sayang lor.....jus buy dat MH...vey nice..
