    Chiller expensive, increase electric bills

    Fan cheap, evaporation makes gh higher and having to topup water more often.

    If you can afford chiller of course better.

    Oh, one other point to take note.. most small size tanks say >2ft are placed in bedroom. Consider the heat generated by the chiller..
    Mine is placed in bedroom, temperature is regulated by aircon at night with 2 fans that kicks in @ noon.. able to maintain temp @ 26.5 ~ 27 - 3ft tank

    Hi Felix, is there any measure that can be taken to counter the rising pH caused by water evaporation/water top up?
