FavaBean Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 wood...... do you have any temp issues? How do you control them... I am thinking about getting a micro chiller Link to comment
Hollywood2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 wood...... do you have any temp issues? How do you control them... I am thinking about getting a micro chiller Last year when I had the tank I did not have to much in it so I would just freeze 2 or 3 bottles of water. When the water would get to 85 I would put in a bottle and the temps would cool down but thats when I had a closed top. This year I am going to be buying a chiller. I really don't want to be going crazy making frozen bottle and dumping them in. Also how is the tank doing, anything new in the tank. Hollywood2009 Link to comment

Codeman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Your tank is beautiful! I love your Ric garden, did you buy them locally or order them? Watch your pH, that may be making the Xenia angry, they hate pH swings Keep it up! Link to comment

Watch your pH, that may be making the Xenia angry, they hate pH swings Keep it up! Thanks for the nice comment. I ordered them on line from www.coralfanatics.com I moved the Xenia to the back wall and for some reason they are getting better. I guess they like very low flow. Hollywood2009 Link to comment
FavaBean Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 how would you hook up a chiller? Link to comment
Hollywood2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 how would you hook up a chiller? I think you just hook one tube to pump and other to the outlet... Hollywood2009 Link to comment
FavaBean Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 sorry I should have asked... are you running a open top?... i know how you would hook it up... just wondering if you have a open top Link to comment
Hollywood2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 No and yes about the top, I have a sunpod but I made a glass top to fit over the top of the tank. Hollywood2009 Link to comment
