haha.. cause im getting confused by online pictures.. some xmas moss do not look like xmas moss and etc.. so i wanna see for myself. haha

beware : curiosity kills the cat!

just joking!

haha! you got me there! LOL
for now i just wanna get my temp & light steady
still deciding on which part of my house to put the tank lol..

ac room: night time temp too low, afternoon high temp *but can be adjusted accordingly by fan*

upstairs hall: night time & afternoon high temp *but can be adjusted accordingly by fan*

oh by the way, due to curiosity & boredom, i tried putting a sanding fan facing the water, temp dropped way too much.. lol.. i think to about 16 degrees C + ac room.

put a glass of water or pail of water with fan that u r going to use n measure the temps in both areas. from there u will get an idea of the water temp for your future tank.

my guess is that u will end up @ upstairs.

i call it test water before dunking urself into it!

im thinking the thing also. hahah!
thats what im doing to test baseline water temp at both places *without fan cause i dont have a fan yet* (standing fan is too rediculous)
the problem is the container that im using is not the same size as compared to my aquarium.. = diff water volume = might effect water temp right? i think

yes, different volume will affect the end temp. but if u calculate it pro-rata basis, u will get a rough idea. we're not scientist so any value we get is just a rough idea only...

its a hobby dear... dun be so frus abt it.

why all the trouble, as its proven fan power can only drop 2'c to max 4'c from room temp, just measure your room temp. will do.
There is the limit of fan, else no one gonna buy chiller.
Rules is bigger tank need bigger fan like bigger tank need bigger chiller to perform effectively.

i tried that & found out that my water temp & room temp is of different value.. :/


haha! no harm learning & trying my best ma

Then easy, just measure the water temp, using 2'c to max 4'c rule , you can determine the min and max temp for your tank while using fan cooling.

if your aquarium is located nearby open window or good air circulation place you can get temp at 24C with just fan. Tried before with nano setup.

yup thats what i'm doing now..
thanks

alright.. thanks
this is my 1st tank upstairs and it's warmer upstairs compared to below floor.. thats why i have to test.. hehe
testing container is currently 28'C without fan.

yeah i put my aquarium upstairs too but nearby a window, so the temp will drop till 24C during the night and will rise back (after 12pm) 26C on a hot day. But need to top up water everyday, very troublesome.

thanks

lucky you

Thanks for the advice, I will take note on this. May I know at least how many yamato shrimps should I put in my 2ft tank as currently I have

i) 7 cardinal tetra
ii) 3 guppies
iii) 1 otto

and will these fishes compatible with yamato?, especially these guppies? (scare these yamato will nip guppy tail)
Anyone got experience putting yamato with guppy togather? will they get alone together happily?

Thanks and I will take note on this.

they will
