Alright guys decided to post some pictures of my tank.

Current tank is running about 1.5mths.......Please give your comments.

Purchased it at the recent Aquarama a pretty good deal i would say, plus managed to bump into a long lost very experienced reeefer. Got a pretty good deal on a Skimmer from him and also not forgetting the T5 light fixtures.

Equipments are

TECO chiller TR15

Solite T5 fixtures

Reef Octopus skimmer.

Thanks for the comments, planning to keep angels therefore planned many holes for them to swim in.

By any chance do you know why when chiller temp is set at 24 but main tank temp is 27~28?

Maybe i'll post my sump tank layout and maybe someone out there can advice me.

Bro, based on your case, is your chiller running non stop? If yes, then your chiller or chiller pump is not powerful enough.....if your chiller dont run 24 hrs, then suggest you check the thermostat and thermometer. A pic of the sump will help to confirm the placement is proper....

Hi bro,

Check the belows:

1) Measure the temperature of the water at the chiller outlet - it should be your pre-set temperature

2) Check that your chiller is place in a location with good ventilation - efficiently will drop if chiller in place in the hot and poor ventilated location

3) Ensure that you do not have a pump or equipment that is producing excessive heat in your water.

HTH ;)
