Corals without a chiller

[pommie]

My tank is running at around 29 C. Is it possible to maintain soft corals at this temp?

If yes, can anyone suggest something colourfull that I could get start with.

Thanks

it is possible, but only for thoe hardy coral such as mushroom, leather.... mostly soft coral, as for LPS or SPS.... although some members claim that it is possible, i wouldnt take such risk...

if you can maintain at 29 C, there shouldn't be a problem.

but with our hot weather, heat from light and pump i doubt

water can be maintain at 29 C. still need chiller or at least

fan....

it is possible. but still try to use a fan to blow across the water surface. This can actually lower the temp to 27degrees

im using a box fan , the one human uses

and my tank's temp is 26++ to 27++

Yah, my tank is ranging 29 - 30 degree Celcius.

And I'm having a star polyp growing like weed. And a Ricordea Florida frag growing a bit too.

I would recommend you get soft coral from Indonesia, as the source is about the same temp as here.

Colorful ah.... have to try loh.

Thanks for the advice, I know I can easily get a couple of fans to cool by a couple of degrees but i didnt want to have to top up every day is possible?

Are bubble tips any easier to maintain in such conditions?

if you find it troublesome topping up everyday, why don't you go get a top-up system?

bubble tips should be fine, but try to get those from indonesia, tempature agar agar the same as ours

soft coral should be alright. but some of them may not open up. u can try using fans, which i find rather effective.
