Hi everyone in the forum, i intend to start up a seahorse tank and now my concern is can i keep the seahorse without chiller?

if you intend to start a seahorse tank,

i assume that you will be collecting different species of seahorses..

it would then be highly recommended to have a chiller,

as some species would require temperatures below 26degrees that can never be acheived with a cooling fan..

better to invest now,

then regret later when your precious/rare/expensive seahorse up lorry due to stress, or starts losing its colour..

Pasar Malam always have good deals for 2nd hand chillers

Haha ok for all the information....

With cooling fan not really impossible to achieve below 26 degree celcius.

That's provided:

1) your tank height is shallow

2)must really get a lighting that dun generate so much heat

3)skimmer pump n return pump must not generate too much heat(notice some do)

but seahorse need deep tank as 2 or 3 times their length..maybe shallow method cannot do here
