Trinituner Reefers, Saltwater Aquarium Fish Keepers

anyone had any luck getting clownfish to mate ?

Yeah, this is my third pair that has been at it every couple mths.
They have all bred in my tank and the eggs hatch. I dont even bother to catch the pair and see if i get the young ones to grow out. The reason is i really dont have the time to grow out rotifers to feed the young ones. Newly hatched out brine shrimp are still to large for the young fry to eat. I also have some pajama cardinals that breed every 2 mths which the male always has the eggs and fry in his mouth.

Great thanks a million. Gonna set up my reef system

[kyhamil]

Anyone ever try a bare bottom tank? Since mine is a fowlr was considering it... heres my reasoning... i have to build a rack to stack my tanks since space in the garage has become an issue: the plan*** just an idea

top tier- 62x18x18 fresh (eventually gonna be a fowlr as well)

2nd tier- my 36x20x22tall fowlr

Bottom tier- the canister filter for the fresh and the 36x14x18tall sump

Plus when i do turn the 5foot tank to a sw i would build New sump wet dry so id have 1 with liverock and deep samd bed next to a wet dry and experiment to see which works btr for me

[kyhamil]

Oh yes so the point... since id have to move my tanks to set up the system i was trying to skip the sand bed in the sw set up

[kyhamil]

So i got the fish from cck ... thanks btw they are doing fine started to eat this morning... im thinking since its a small 22 gallon tank i might set up the chiller and try a lil reef setup... so questions i have are what would i need to buy

Lights- led or t5 (try not to kill me with the price)
Doser?
Cal reactor?

And can i set up the return pump so that it passes through the chiller and then to the main tank or do i have to send it to the sump, im not familiar with that aspect of he set up

[kyhamil]

Hey guys hear this... i got a chiller from raj earlier this year and im now setting it up... i lost the directions but it seems straight forward except there is no direction on the unit saying which way is in and which is out... would there be an issue if its set up in the wrong direction? And i lost raj number again...

[HondaB20B]

Usually there is a direction indicated. it might be a raised arrow. Doesnt the manual say?

[kyhamil]

Lost the manual... and in not seeing any markings

[mojosodope]

Try googling for the item or emailing the manufacture I'm sure there's a pdf floating around somewhere

[kyhamil]

I did im not seeing the same chiller... they made upgrade to the model line and the pics and stuff im getting is for the old 1... btw 82f is a gd temp?

[HondaB20B]

72-78F is the recommended temps.
Mine set at 78F for the last 4+ yrs

[kyhamil]

Im not seeing the temp drop or hearing the chiller kick in...

[HondaB20B]

it takes a long time to see a drop. It all depends on the size chiller and the water volume you trying to chill. What size chiller is it and whats your water volume. The water from the pump passing thru the chiller does not have to be fast

[kyhamil]

I slowed down the flow and moved where the return is, its 1/13 for about 25gallons... so id check back tomorrow, if it doesn't drop id change the direction of flow to see if thats the problem... i cld also shorten the return line to try that

[HondaB20B]

BUMP...................!!!!!!!!

[kyhamil]

The temp drop to 78 at night and 80-1 during the day

[HondaB20B]

The temp drop to 78 at night and 80-1 during the day

78F = 25.5C
81F = 27.2

Thats not bad............. I have mine set at 78. When it reaches 80, it trips back on and drops it back down to 78 and trips off.
The big question is where you have your chiller placed. All around the chiller must be free for air circulation or it will overheat and not work efficiently. How it should also work is due to the daylight heat, the chiller will be on longer due to heat from multiple factors......lights, heat from pumps etc. And in the night due to the lights off and stuff, the chiller will trip on less.

[kyhamil]

Its a lil quarantine tank i have set up 30x12x15... bout 15l s of rock and 1.5 sand bed... have a hang on filter on he far right, a power head for flow on the left and an in tank powerhead filter that flows to the chiller which is to the bottom on the table i have it set up on... no direct sunlight but the rm is well lite during the day... and can get a lil warm towards the evening... i havent set up lights yets... making a trip next month so i plan to bring back lights and a protein skimmer for the bigger tank... i was considering going to get a license to bring a chiller and bring it back with me

[kyhamil]

Send me raj number... i cant seem to find it on my other phone
