best temp for marine fish..

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

wad is the best temp for marine? for reefs and corals..

my chillers manages to keep the temp at 26 thru out the day and lowers to 25 at night...

is this good enough?

'm using 2 150W MH, 1 FL(4 feet)[blue]

2x36W 10 000 (blue tudes)

my MH is on from 10 am to 9pm... the PLs and Fl is on thruout.. 24hours

think its quite ok....stable temperature is more important generally... :rolleyes:

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

okok.. i'm only using cl280 for my marine tank...

due to budget constrains...

wanna use the rest of the budget to get better and nicer corals

roidan · December 6, 2003

:eyebrow: as long as your chiller can bring it down to that temperature and since you are not paying the electricity bills..is good enough mah....

coz it may mean that the chiller turns on pretty often...but in your case...not your problem hor....

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

that's a resun brand.. the worst and the cheapest chiller aroud..

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

hmm.. yeah... that's y i can on my lights 24 hours.. hahaha...

electricity also not a prob...

only the purchasing of corals that's a prob.. hard to go to the lck side to get the nice corals.. xian 1/2

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

hmmm no budget go for the good ones liek titinium chillers.. teco chillers..

pacific cool also not bad...

got budget go for the cheapos lol.. resun cl280 cl450 or cl650.. or sunsun one.....

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

yours new tank ar?

4 feet by??

NgaoCi · December 6, 2003

hey what would be a good chiller for a 4 footer?

err...u asking about HP or brand? :huh:

terryansimon · December 6, 2003

apparently me and NgaoCi are the only Eido chiller users.

ah^siao · December 6, 2003

in most cases only the sunsun and resun chillers are noisy

terryansimon · December 6, 2003

the noise level is acceptable to me lah. compared to a Teco, its obviously noisy. I have half a mind on upgrading to a more quiet chiller, citing feedback from my mother that the drone drives her crazy.

ah^siao · December 7, 2003

initally the noise level is low.. but it'll start to become louder and louder

blacknails · December 7, 2003

Oh dear... I thought chillers were supposed to be silent cause it's submerged underwater...

Are there any chillers available for small small nano reefs like 5 gallon?

DeepBlue · December 7, 2003

bro...almost all chillers i know are outside the tank or sump

:lol:

unless you dip popsicles into the tank :lol:

NgaoCi · December 7, 2003

if can be submerged , I wun hv to feel like I'm in a suana room whenever I'm sitting infront of my tank liao

ah^siao · December 7, 2003

hahhaa.. chillers in a tank sudmerge?

wad a joke.. hmmm nano tanks ar.. there's a guy selling his in the buy and sell forum.. can check it out there

blacknails · December 7, 2003

Oh wait... So ony heaters are submerged and not chillers ah? I thinking of setting up a nano tank soon and it's in my air con room so I think it'll get cold... Sorry guys...

DeepBlue · December 7, 2003

quite ok....because when you switch off your aircon...temp will fluctuate....must take that into consideration...

too often of that, you'll see your LS develop white spot

riot · December 7, 2003

my MH is on from 10 am to 9pm... the PLs and Fl is on thruout.. 24hours

Hi Ah Siao,

your FLs & PLs are switched on 24hrs? In the main tank?

Hmmm wont your corals & fish need any rest? Hows the life stock doing?

ah^siao · December 7, 2003

i was advise by this 'old bird'... hmmm yeah.... for your info.. my tank was seen by quite alot of 'old birds' and they give me all the pointers i can get....

Dispar_Anthias · December 7, 2003

hmm.. yeah... that's y i can on my lights 24 hours.. hahaha...
electricity also not a prob...

only the purchasing of corals that's a prob.. hard to go to the lck side to get the nice corals.. xian 1/2

24hrs!!!! :shock: :shock:

All living creatures need a few hours of sleep... even plants!

Your fishes will be extremely stressed if they can't get a period of rest on a daily basis if your lights are always on. Sleep deprivation is a form of torture used by some people... don't do that to your fishes!

i was advise by this 'old bird'... hmmm yeah.... for your info.. my tank was seen by quite alot of 'old birds' and they give me all the pointers i can get....
