    Seeking advice on 2 feet tank

    in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby

    Posted

    Thank you for the replies!! Maybe I'll just have to stick to my current small tank then :( i was hoping that keeping a larger than would allow the temperature to be a little more stable since I was able to achieve relative stability in temperature and parameters.

    I'm currently able to keep LPS in my small tank now with fan on!

    Think its possible, but the answer may vary from reefer to reefer, u probably need to plan ur coral stocking list, those sensitive corals probably will not do well. The tank placement, house ventilation and ambient temperature (running air con or not)place a huge part. i running a chiller so its probably not best person to advise u . If its me, i would do the following

    1. Plan out stocking list, avoid sensitive corals like acropora or those deep sea corals which by common sense dictates lower temp to thrive. Also probably get home cultured frags from other reefers which use fan and the corals probably is adapted liao. Those pluck from sea one probably more risky as they not been through “training” lol

    2. Install more fans. how fans cool is by evaporation, so more fans more evaporation so more cooling effect. Also direction of fan is important i tink. u would wan to blow the surface of the water, slightly tilted to blow away the humidity. dont just aim ur fan to blast direct.

    3. Get an ATO. with fan i tink ATO is an absolute must unless u 24/7 standby tank to top up fresh water, think u r experienced liao no need tell u . Also u consider ATO to be electronic or gravity fed. For me i prefer gravity fed as electronic introduced more points for failure. Its not necessary true but just my way of thinking.

    4. Lastly, before a major upgrade like this where the rice cooked cannot go back scenario, i would do a mini test run. probably prepare some buckets of water at the preferred tank location and with fans running check the temp and evaporation all these, its not 100% replicable but at least give u some confidence level? whether its absolute a no go or “maybe its possible”

    lastly, i would still think its better to squeeze in a chiller, u should have read our ocean coral reefs dying due to climate change, so probably higher temp
    not so good for corals default_smile.png Happy reefing!

    Thank you for the really detailed reply!! I'm planning to only keep LPS and softies with no sps!

    I actually can use the method of testing you suggested! I have a 2 feet planted tank at that location! Currently the planted tank's temperate is the same as my 30cm cube (around 27-28°C). I would assume it would be similar if I upgrade to a 2feet reef tank
