Hi bros & sis , Iam new for this hobby, can anyone tell me what is the correct water temp for marine fish ( just fishs only ) currenly my water temp is 29.5-30.5... is it good or bad ?

You shld try to if possible keep it as low as possible ard 27~28'C can liao... 29.5 to 30.5 depends on what fishes you keep lorhhs... :rolleyes:

1ft cube with IOS [the low tech tank]

1. JBJ C-breeze to keep temp hovering around 27-28'C

2. LED clip on - 120 bulbs

-skimmer-less-

My 3 humble equipments that keeps my tank running... [DRIED OUT]

1. The RSM itself of course 2.My NEW Deltec MCE-300 Skimmer 3. My trusty Arctica Chiller

Tank parameters:

Temperature maintained at 25.3'C to 24.7'C

No3: 10ppm(b4 the use of the deltec skimmer)

No3: 5ppm (after use of the skimmer)

Others? too lazy to measure...LOL

Hi Bro,

If u don't wanna invest in a chiller, just buy a cooling fan from ur local fish shop.

It will certainly help in bringing down Ur temperature.

Only downside is the fan will evaporate a lot of water... & u need to top up using freshwater regularly.

Hi bro, so u use the fan to cool down the temp ? any Recommended ? my tank is 4x2x2.5 :thanks:

Wah, for such a big tank, I think it will be more efficient to use those standing fan or desktop fan. Tiny PC fans will have practically no effect on the temperature, you would have to use multiple fans which is not energy efficient, and unsightly. Also, because of the larger volume of your tank, the evaporation will be relatively MASSIVE. I used to top up one to two buckets of fresh water every 2 days for a 4x2x2.

And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

I used a fan before but find the water evaporation too much. Everyday got to top up like 2-3L of water for a 3x2x2' tank. yours is even bigger so the water evaporation will be even more. In the end I got a chiller instead.

No matter how you DIY, the source of the fan is usually China made. Cost is also about the same.

You can buy Japanese Made (Scythe S-Flex) or German (Papst) fans from Sim Lim Square if you wanted to, you need to

hook them up to a 12 volt adapter or other power source though.

But yeah, the evaporation is a killer, I'm running 3x 80mm fans on my 3ft freshwater planted, and I have to top up close to 50 litres a week.

You _must_ do daily topups in a marine tank to prevent salinity fluctuations, if you intend to stay in this hobby for any amount of time, you

really need to invest in a chiller in your initial setup, unless you have the discipline and desire to top up daily.

You got to weigh the cost of running a chiller vs the cost of running a fan. Don't say fan is cheap, cos you have to take into account the cost of topping up distilled/RO/DI water... not your tap water.

i been trying to keep dwarf angels in temp around 29 -30 degree without much success. especially flame, lemon peel etc. tangs is still pretty okay.

They should not be dying in that temperature range. It is "relatively" ok. There must be other factors contributing to your fish demise. How long do they stay in your tank ? Do they eat ? Are they good when you bought ? Any agression ?

Know the source of your fish and how they are captured. Fish captured using cyanide don't last although I believe most of our LFS do not import fish collected through this way.

If you are working on a budget, I recommend Hailea, but wow for a 4x2x2.5 you are looking at a 1/3 HP or bigger chiller.

most are from fellow reefers. its well know that flame, lemon peel, potter, golden angel etc are less hardy than the others esp more son in warmer water. they can survive in warmer waters but not for long. if you ask around, not many people managed to keep flame, lemon peel angel alive for long too. those that do might also lost count of how many was up lorry <_<
