Errr Bro,

What you mean "aircon & fan"???

I using fan now, so am I gonna end up with dead coral? Running fan for 1 month maintain at 29 deg.

Your "aircon & fan" causes temp to fluctuate or high temp?? Care to enlighten??

Nonetheless, nice setup and aquascape. :D

decentkid & Terryz_ - i had to let go the harlequin tusk cos it was getting too big :cry2: . IMO a 6inch fish in a 2 ft tank is way too big and i should never add fishes that will grow to a size more that 3inch in the first place :(

nakazoru - i maintained my tank temp at 28 to 29 using the fan and the aircon in my room at night. it is possible to do w/o chiller and just a fan with t5s but the salinity will fluctuate alot due to high evaporation rate, i find that at some poit im sure the temperature will still fluctuate esp when the day gets too hot. considering the total sum i spent on corals, might as well get a chiller as i dun wana risk losing anymore due to heat issues.

as for lighting, i do realise when i had a small 2by2by1 w/o a sump and used 4HOt5 lights, the light was perfect for lps and soft corals. however after a year using this 2by2by1.5(width) tank, t5s just aint good enuf and i had to keep the corals on the upper half of the tank :eyeblur: so with the chiller, i recently got a second hand mh from a bro here :)

alien07 - the tank is 1.5ft wide :) aquasaping is a PITA :lol::pinch:
