SRC Member pospeh Posted November 29, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 29, 2003 I ran my system for 3 years without a chiller. Kept mostly softies and a few LPS. They will do well as long as the temperature do not go above 30C. I got a chiller when I started sps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mellow Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 i'm currently running 250w without chiller too...using fan to cool water. so far so good. keeping my temperature below 27.5 most of the time...so far highest temp is 28...but that's probably because i turn on air con at night when i sleep...

Coz I have the same problem, last time I turned on the aircon was like in 1+ years ago maybe more.... because I was afriad of a temp drop in the tank my temp fluctuation around 2 degrees the most...coz at night, i turn off my fan and my room temp goes down to 25 the most... yup, so daily temp is about 25-27....my lights are around 11 inches above water...dun think can go any lower and risk cracking my centre bracing...yup, hope that helps Quote "Save a reef, grow your own" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many fan do you use in your main tank and sump? DIY fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
