Aiya;

The optimal temp is 26 deg for all corals, since I'm on the high end....

But I will say 26 deg is where all corals will do fine.

Another that is not well, blasto....

Yet to feed it yet.

The rest that are fine:

1. Goniopora

2. Zoo

3. Starburst

4. Yumas

5. Discomas

6. clam

7. frogspawn

8. the rest lah.

Em... maybe I should set my chiller to 1ºC lower... since I am investing quite a bit on corals nowadays... the Goniopora I bought today refuse to open leh... what can be the problem? Is it true they need strong light and medium to strong current?

Ist day will not open lah... ;)

Give it a while. You tank should not need to adjust too much for giono, jus leave it alone and feed phyto will do, once it is accustomed then it opens.

Anyway they dunn need prestine water to florish...

But confirm strong light and medium to strong current? Liveaquaria.com doesn't have Green Gonio's information, just the Red Gonio. I guess they are the same :P

Oh dear... more drilling will weaken the structure... do plan carefully bro. I'm sure you will find a way... luckily you are not using MH, or else Fry Prata!!! Ok... it's not funny <_< I lowered my chiller temperature to 26ºC to 27ºC, thanks to your advice :) My LPS will be very grateful to you :bow:

Updatez...

Tank view. See the two seio M620 :D

They are on timer to provide alternating current to my main tank. :rolleyes:

So I have left current - 2400LPH, right current - 2400LPH, full current - 4800LPH, no current - 1100LPH from return pump, 24/7... :evil:

A cheap way to avoid an expensive flow controller... :angel:

My mandarin like I say is elusive, always take cover behind the LR. I did not feed any pellets as only my blue tang and algae bleenie in main tank. All eats rabbit food. :D

One pix for the tang.

Blue Tangs will fight, but not normally fatal. Zoo color depends on the lights more and of course my temp also high. Still working one it.

Yo Yo;

Blue tang don't eat red bamboo. Their diet are primarily vegetarian thus my term "Rabbit food".

I feed the following now.

1. Omega veggie food dose with garlic. Boost their appetit, once eat like pigs, their last a looooong time.

2. Japanese seaweed, they love it tooooo.

3. My tank red algae. They spend 12 hrs and finish it...

Been running a exhaust with the iceprobe for 1 month, did not have the expected performance that I wanted. Although it did not heat up the tank now but did not reach my expected 26deg.

Guess 40G is simply too much for the iceprobe to achieve a 26deg.

My answer to 26deg.....

New purchase.... new model Hailea HC500A 1/2HP..... :D China made titanium coil... at a fraction of the price compare to Europe ones.... Mitsubishi compressor...

Spend extensive research at those Hong Kong/China forum... found that most are using the old model. Every body recommended Hailea compare Resun.

Now it is time to try it out. I bought this unit at Aquatic. Shipped to my house before I come home from China. Good services, I must say.

Will write a review when I set it up. Promise to chill til 26deg in 1 hr.... for my size.

Those who are interested why I bought the 1/2HP... Because with a higher HP, it will kick-in less and chill faster thus resulting in more electrically efficient chiller. Another reason is also that I will not have to buy another chiller when I upgrade next year. :angel: Already planning...
