Mayb can check water parameters??? Sure something nt rite...

Can pm me the price of one small purple tang??

I used to have just 5 small clownfish with one palm size anemone in a 1FT cube... After 3 weeks, woke up one morning to find all the clownfish disappear into thin air .. only left the anemone... To this day, dnt knw what happen to the clownfish, but suspect the anemone had something to do with it

Nice rockscape...

Yupz gona try ur suggestion only when i gt the hydro nano cos i tink once return pump connect to chiller, circulation nt strng enough Currently AM jk no stock... Anyone selling their hydro koralia nano??

Prawn as in market prawn??? u must have one lucky fish... I do knw that fish will eat the prawn... hwever nt so sure if theres any side effect if feed frequently...

Thanks bro... Will update with some pic soon... now still thinking wat to do to solve the chiller problem... cos after raya going overseas, dnt wan to come back with the same problem...

i heard ehiem have low wattage too rite..??? Hmm so u not using the stock return pump??? wow totally diffrent frm my chiller kick in time.... I tink its time i do something abt it.. or my chiller controller might be fried again... Thanks for the info bro.... Anyway im also thinking of the hydro nano cos of its cute size...

I did suspect that the cooling fan is small ... afterall since everything abt it is mini.. it possible that the fan is a mini too I did took ur advice and shifted the chiller out of the cabinet... Hopefully it have a better ventilaltion.. Thts the best thing i can do for now... Cant possibly put an external fan for it... it would be too weird ... fan cooling chiller and chiller cool tank... I am still monitering the chiller... still thinking to follow bro raydiative advice to interchnge the chiller hose so to prevent the chiller frequent kick in... It make sense that the cool water for my setup didnt circulate enough thus causing the chiller to kick in freqeuntly. My only concern if i do that, will the flow from the return hose frm the chiller to the main tank be strng enough??? Cos frm the pciture bro raydiative is using an additional wavemaker to circulate the flow in the main tank... while currently i only using the return pump for circulation. Thanks for the advce on changing water.. will start to gradually change a small amt of water...

Saw a lot of clam at T5 Last sunday... U can try buying there... cost two red note....

Thank You so much for the illustration bro raydiative Yes i do feel too that my cold water is nt circulating enough tht y it lead to the frequent kick in... Frm the picture, am i right to say that u are using the same return pump as the chiller pump? Is the flow strong enough??? Im currently using two pump, one return pump, the other chiller pump... So hw frequent does ur chiller kick in bro??? Bro,you are also using a hydro nano is it??Good or nt?? Currently using only using the return pump for circulation...

I am aware that a smaller system is harder as a small accident does alot more damage to the system... Yes my clam had melted... Nearly puked at it... When i took it out, it feel like half boiled egg... since u say fish cant die so easily at high temp... tht must be the cause of it.... tht clam must have been the culprit... Im using a Arctica DBI-050 Mini Chiller - 1/15 HP.......Flow Rate : 400l/hr - 600l/hr. Im using it with a Hydor Seltz L20 Aquarium Pump (700 l/h) as the chiller pump... tht was recommended by AM... Currently the remaining fish and coral r doing fine... Fish still eating... Coral still opening up... Do u suggest i do a water change immediately?? and hw many percent should i change...??

Great piece of advice and encouragement bro Ancelot... Really appreciate it... Yes everyday is a learning day for me, however i think the most important thing is not to make the same mistake over and over again.... I did learnt alot frm u and the rest of the reefers here ... which i really appreciate the knowledge past down to me.... Furthermore im a noob at this,and since everyone have diffrent opinion of this hobby, something i do get confuse... However like wat u say... it definately makes it terribly interesting to explore! I have check all the corals, none of the corals are dead expect for the clam.... My only surviving fishes are 1 true percula, 1 maroon, 1 yellow tail damsel,and 1 mandarin (surpisingly) Myb the death of the clam nuke the tank???Is that possible?? Anyway i been monitering the chiller, it kick in roughly every 20min..and kick out after 10min of chilling... (time taken frm 11 -3pm, weather hot) Is tht good or bad???

Shouldnt be a problem... there are hardy... and will grow easily... had the same problem, mind grw back...

The tech told me that this might be one of the reason... Can it be due to the wrng placement of the chiller pump and return hose.??? I gt the return hose from the chiller in the first chamber........ third chamber chiller pump and return pump to tank. Any bros with Nanocube and chiller?? Which chamber do u guy place ur chiller pump and return hose frm chiller??

Yes, same place as in the the first post... never relocate it... hmm i still feel that it have good ventilation at the front and back.... .....should i relocate it??? Thanks for the advice bro Ancelot, yes i've learnt my lesson... no more cauliflower...

yup very devastated, hwever im concern tht the technician said that it was a common problem and that it happen alot for this chiller... havent hear of this "common" problem before... cant believe that i actualy bought it cos of its reliability..

the blue sponge was already transfered to another tanks.... still doing well.... the red sponges still alive... dnt think they are the one responsible for killing the fish... actually this happen to me two week ago,i came back frm wrk to find that all the fishes breathing heavilly, looking stress, the tank was nt cold, i thought i accidentally had swtch off the chiller, after i off and on again the chiller, it seem to be wrking normally and start to cool the tank abt 2 hrs time,the fish was okey the next day after the temperature remain contant.... didnt knw that the chiller problem was persistenting... when i gt hme yesterday, it was a hot day, the tank temp was abt 30-31..water was way way warm, most of the fishes were dead... I tink wth the chiller nt wrking and the lights(i had the light on with timer) been on and wth the hood close, it contribute to the raise in temperature.... so guys does the wrong placement of the chiller pump in chmber 3 contribute to the failling of the chiller??? Ur opinion pls.....

Yup im aware of these tricky species... my bad for buying on impulse... im sure nt to buy them again....

Thanks bro... Jst wana find out the root of the problem, dnt wan it to happen again...

Today is one of the saddest day of my life, when on a trip for two days... went i came back today, found that my chiller had unexpectedly stop functioning properly... the tank water was warm.... 6 of my fishes and clam died.. After inspecting the chiller, it was still running w/o kicking out however no cold water was given out Since chiller was still under warranty, i called the company whch responded very fast, approximately 2 hrs later they came to my house... excellent service.. A big disappointment that it was only used for about 2 mths before ginvg way... The technician replace the chiller "control panel", the old circuitary board seem fried, was told that this was a common problem ... anyone heard of this problem before??? I did ask y this fault occur, technician told me: 1)ventilation not good enough, chiller too hot, air ciculation nt good enough--->> didnt really buy this... the front and back of my chiller is totally open, the frnt have all the air it need, while there a big gap betwen the wall and the back of the chiller 2)this is my first chiller so im not so sure hw it supposed to run, so i explain to him hw my chiller usually kick in and out. Fyi,my chiller kick in every 15 or 25min (depend on temp) and kick out after 3 to 5min -->>> which he said is nt normal... After checking, he told me that my chiller pump is in the wrng chamber and this will lead to frequent kick in and out.. thus might also lead to the board been fry. Since, im new at this, my friend is the one who set up the chiller and pump. 1st chamber return hose.... 3rd chamber chller pump. Any comment on this??? IM LosT... Now monitering the chiller, surviving fish and the rest of the corals....

No worries, none taken bro xxx, infact i appreciate all the feedback everyone have given. i guess i read too much abt these "natural" thing, so just giving it a chance. Between, great tank u have there bro xxx, a dream for everyone. Well, i will keep u guys posted of my adventure... Its only been a month plus, so i cant really say anything good or bad abt it. Nuthing change so far, will give u guys the verdict in 6 mths time or as when it didnt turn out ok... Bought some chaeto from bro kenyo last week, added it to the disply tank. Thank You so much bro kenyo, ur chaeto doing great and growing very well. Also added some fish last thursday.... Fishes still doing fine so far .... Will update wth photo soon...

well was thinking of giving natural filtration a try first, been reading alot abt it... First time doing it also, so hopefuly i dnt screw up big time... Where do patronise ur fishes and corals??

tht shld be good i guess, as long as its skimming, it shld b good.... Tempted to get one of those... well we c hw it goes... wah finally started ur own thread ah, keep the pictures coming...

ah yes, i think theres where i read abt the resun skimmer.. nicely done by bro scubajazz... Yes my return pipe is from the chiller is in the first chamber..... wat abt urs???
