I turned around from my laptop and I spotted this happening.

the pom pom crab has decided to pull down my strawberry coral whereby my boss describe it as having erectile dysfunction... :P

Thanks for the information. But how does you hang the Ice probe ? I thought all ice probe has to drill a hole into the tank or..

u can use egg crate, cut the desire shape and hole to hold it... as long as yr cooling probe in tact with water with good flow shld be fine.. I suggested located the fan @ open area for good ventilation.. otherwise the heat transfer back to tank from environment will make yr iceprobe result insignificant. Cheers.

Hi Phua,

for the ice probe, you can always stick it into the media chamber of the IQ5 IOS section. I think one of the reefers here put a link to how he did it for his IQ3! So if he can stick the COolworkz Ice probe into the IOS of the IQ3 I'm sure we'd have no problems sticking it into the IQ5.. there are a number of places you can get an ice probe. Pet mart @ serangoon, Freshnmarine.... go shop around to find the one/price that suits you. :)

well strady, it's only been a month so for now, all the corals I put in are in my experience pretty hardy and don't really require much light.. :) I was considering buying another set of LEDS but ketchup was like : ARE YOU NUTS... so.. heck la.. LOL

After 1 month of running this IQ5, because of the cool ambient temp of my office and even after the heat of this weekend, I realise I don't need an ice probe but just turn my office fan on and blow it indirectly at the tank on weekends. During Weekdays, the temp of my water can go down as low as .... 22.5!!! which it is right now without the tunze pump and LED on. With everything on, it can go up to 25.5

for sure it will ... with my previous 17-gal, without airconditioning it can maintain temp at about 27-28, and with the aircon on, goes down to about 24-25 :fear:

lol yeah the temp in this office is cold but I have a feeling that the digital thermometer is a bit siow also.. I doubt it's THAT LOW but it does give me a gauge of the water temp.. so far everything is doing fine.. the firefish is out and about most of the time and feeding... :) no other fish will be added in except small frags of corals. :)

Cheers, ;)
