Reserved for a potential buyer pending confirmation.

I just checked again. Your tank is 120g. It's just nice. The chiller is for up to 130g.

I think it's meant for a four feet tank. I used it on a nanocube and it was way over powered. Do check with other sources though. I am not an expert on such matters. I found this online '1/10 Hp inline chiller recommended for aquariums up to 130 gallons'. (Sizing Guide). Features built in temperature controller with digital display, titanium heat exchanger, black ABS cover, and a 2-year warranty. Unit produces some of the lowest noise and vibration levels of any chiller on the market. Recommended Flow Rate: 240 gph. Input/Output: 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" INS (Hose Barb). Using either an existing pump or an additional pump, water is circulated through the chiller, cooled, and returned to the aquarium or filter system. All models are safe for use in either salt or fresh water. A chart can be found in the link http://www.vividaquariums.com/10Expand.asp...tCode=04-1512-1

1.5 years of warranty and one more free servicing can be carried over to new owner.

Sorry wrong thread.

Hi, my fishtank has been decommissioned and I don't have time to setup another one any time soon. I am putting up my Artica chiller for sale. It was bought on 28/06/07. Power supply and the hose adapters are included. You will need to buy the hoses though (since mine are used.) I can deliver to your place. Warranty has been sent in. I have the warranty card. But can't find the receipt. I have the credit card receipt. Selling at $700. Model: DBA-075 Power Supply: 230V 1PH 50hz 1/10 HP /In-Line IC Electronic Temperature Controller Ozone Friendly Refrigerant (R-134a) No Box Manual Avaliable Hose Adaptors Power Cord Email at bernards@kennbryan.com

Do you have your aircon on all the time? I had my chiller set at 26 degs, but the outside of the tank had very bad condensation all the time. I switched it to 27 degs and it's fine now.

None at all. I have never used any medication in my tank. The rest of my corals and snails are fine. Never had any problems with them.

I need some help with assimilating shrimps. My water parameters are good. No ammonia, nitrite or nitrates. PH stable at 8.2, temp at 27. No shrimp harassing fishes. Unfortunately, under my hands, four cleaner shrimps, one sugarcane and one fire shrimp had to say bye bye. I have no such problem with fishes. I even tried assimilating them slowly over a few hours, checking making sure PH is the same, bag water must have been replaced or diluted 2 times over. Temperature equalized for an hour. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to show my kid what the little pods look like. Unfortunately, I can't seem to recreate the variables again. Once my pump went kaput, I switched off the lights changed the pump, turned on the lights, WHAM, whole tank had pods swimming and stuck to the glass. Darkness? temperatures above 30 degrees? Stagnant water?

Hi, I believe most will recommend temperatures between 27 to 29. BTW. It's very easy to add a chiller to the nanocube. Just cut holes in the back of the canopy.

Hi David, I bought a skimmer from nanotuners.com. Cost about 100 odd USD. Quite expensive for such a small skimmer. No choice if you want to keep the aesthetics. The skimmer works alright. The pump is kinda noisy, it's the loudest piece of gear in my setup. It's still acceptable though. A skimmer like this can be made locally for a fraction of the price. The design is a very common design anyway.

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I tried all the advices and found that using distilled water and leaving it overnight in the fridge had the best result. However, once I use a syringe to target feed, the pieces just float all over the place (all pumps and wavemakers are off.) Very little, if any at all end up in the mouths of the corals. Hmmmm.

I am lost on how to use the powder version of cyclop eeze. The pieces will always float on the top of the water. How do I make it less bouyant?

Hi, I'll like to order three boxes of your nano with delivery. Sorry, I have no idea how to use the PM feature. It says the function is disabled, or something like that. Cheers Bernard Sia

Does anybody know of a suitable small calcium reactor for a 24g nano tank? I am keen on clams and hard corals. I've already bought a chiller. A little calcium reactor should do some good.

I choose a yellow tail damsel. I read they are suppose to be better behaved. I guess the best of monsters is still a monster. OT. Beautiful corals in your tank. I am going off to get a chiller tomorrow. It's inspiring.

Thanks a lot Achilles. I did further tests today and felt confident enough for 1 damsel. I probably won't add anything else for another week. I hope this is the correct pace.

Thanks a lot Alvin. I am surprised as I was intending to wait for 2 weeks. I believe Aquamarine must have cured the live rocks thoroughly before installing them from me. I'm still waiting for the skimmer and chiller to arrive. I'll install those first before adding in any livestock. It's nice to know it's possible to get a tank running in 3 days.

Hi all, I need some advice here. I just got a NC24 from Aquamarin on Saturday. It was setup the very night with existing water and live rocks. Added a couple of bacteria pills yesterday. I did a test today and got a result of PH 7.8, Ammonia, NO2 and NO3 at 0 ppm. Does this mean my tank is actually ready, or does it mean nothing has started yet? From what I understand, Ammonia, Nitrate and Nitrite will start to get excessive at different stages of the cycling process. Is it right for test results to be normal for a 3 days old tank?
