hehe my yellow surgeon also the biggest in my tank now..i need help on rocks "sampah"

yup learn that the hard way..i nvr thought they would really be happy in my tank! open up so big..i put 24degree for few days then i put 23degree..suddenly open so big and stink my other coral..

nice one bro! keep up the good work! hehe now coral not so pretty..they said near chinese new year new shipment will come in...bcz this is the time ppl buy coral so they bring in more..

LR will be "alive" back once u put in the water..but like he said..it will need another cycle.. if you have treatment tank easy just dump it in when you wanna use it..best way is to see if it smells very bad..then it needs time/salty/high temperature water tank

seafan, ohoo.. very very hard to keep. no success for me, tried twice, bought reef snow, phyto , zoo etc and dump bunch of $$, even bring in sea water from the restaurant also doesn't work, after few months my christmas tree gone (

ya, lfs already list out lots of new shipment coming in.

waaa bukanmain.24cc?ur chiller must work hard thn.me put 26 only.
thx.mallow for kind word.last time i tot my tank is prety enough,but after i visit some extrema reef sifu .i just know wat is full tank means = =
sea fan not so hard to take care.or mayb im the lucky 1.almost 4 mth stil healty.stil ned hunt lot of it,plan want use sea fan as background = =

Just bought a waver and a thermometer, and check temperature is about 28.1, haven't add light yet, grrrrr.. My tank size is 50cm x 30 cm, i tried to find light in LFS, they just got 60cm length and 30 cm length. if wan to add some coral, 2 x 30cm to put in width or 1 x 60cm to put in length or 1 x 30cm to put in width, which 1 better ?

for me i will get 2 x30cm white and 2 x 30 cm blue

with 28.1 your gonna kill your coral..the most for coral is 26degree..if you wanna play coral try to make sure your temperature are always never higher than 26..or you can kill your whole tank with their poison if they die..

I bought the big hailea chiller 250A for 2feet it just took 30sec to cool down 1degree and my electric bills r the same if without chiller my tank can reach 27-29degree(afternoon) .i tried with fan only went down to 26.6 still high for coral..


2x30 blue/white ..try check T5 aqua sonic is ure in budget side..quite cheap and very powerful i must say..your coral will dance/open/big smile with it

some corals are not suitable for beginner, study first

me using hailea 650.start up and stop noise slower thn resun

hailea 650? is a new model?

Seems like a lot ppl not satisfy with the Dolphin mini chiller, what cheap chiller can i get ?

thermoelectric chiller are waste of $
bad performance & expensive to use in long run, easily spoil as well.

go search for 2nd hand resun 280, seen b4 was like 300-400. new around 6++

have budget straight buy hailea hc-100a, around 8++

ops.my bad.is Unistar UNI-650

hailea 650? never heard also..

250A is very very quiet compare to resun..i never had resun but i heard it at 88 last time..


dolphin is a waste of money try to save up for 2nd hand resun..hc-100a will have a hard time working all night long..if you wanna save up long run for electric bill i suggest minimum model 150a ..depends on ur house condition..my tank is at living hall can go up to 30 easily

Icemamario, I get info from other forum lor, but sounds like the dolphin is really bad.

Where to find 2nd hand chiller, i also headache now.

mallow 2nd hand chiller are very hard to find..do look up at chusui or infact lelong.com.my ..i saw few last few months..

Lelong dun have, now trying in chuisui.

whats the price u looking for? i saw lelong rm880 for new resun ..2nd hand also 650rm ..might as well fund a bit n grab new..if u can wait hopefully someone let go to upgrade

My budget just 500 only. But in future if change tank dunno the chiller still can use or not .

resun normally same power watt as hailea 100a..i heard from others u need at least hailea 100/150a model to cool down a <2ft tank ...they can also cool down any tank it just takes longer/more electric/too much work due to frequent working..

fr my experience i bought 250a hailea abt rm1.7k comes with 2yrs warranty n my 2ft tank takes less than 40sec to cool down 1 degree..theres no changes on electric bill at all..bcz it will only "work/on" every abt 1-2hrs to maintain 1degree drop

if u do plan to upgrade up to 3ft -5ft do plan ahead on chiller..not worth it to buy new now u might as well buy 2nd hand bcz u confirm will need to upgrade later on if u upgrade bigger tank

Sigh, chiller chiller why r you so hard to find ~~~~

May i know, is lion fish suitable for a 14 gallon tank with coral ?
