    As an oxygen fan (as in ardent fan), I simply luv the idea of putting spray bars at the water surface. It will work miracles to make fish happy and healthy. I wouldn't put a spray bar anywhere else.

    But it wasn't really quiet. Upgraded to a cross flow cooling fan. Virtually no noise but I compromise in terms of cooling power (about 2degrees hotter now) I think it's partly the v humid day inhibiting evaporation, as I only upgraded today.

    I realize that surface agitation is a good complement to a fan. With a spray bar near the surface, my tank's temperature is about .5 degree lower at any point of time as compared to a single outflow.
    LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!

    Just my luck, the normal thermometer is out of battery. but guess what...the temperature on the external thermometer shows that the temperature dropped below 27C (guess that it telling me that it's working fine, my bad) and the internal one is showing 25C horray both temperatures were taken at about 12 noon.

    Okay now, since it is more or less stable and given the high humidity now, it seems cool enough. The tank being cool will help to cool the room a bit but notice that your humidity in the room / living room will built up, hence either you have a dehumidifier or just ventilate the room more, reposition the furniture if required. If you don't have anything to try on now, just wait till I finish my rack, which would be end April or so, I should have some interesting stuffs you might wanna pick up later on. Remember, an idea triggers another idea. Good job, have a good rest today.

    Re: Maintaining Temperature

    My water temp drop till 27degrees last nite. That's the lowest it can go.
    Realize the water evaporates very fast. Need to top up abt 2 tub of tau hua gong per day. Will it be too much for the shrimps and plants to handle? And also do you guys add anything in the refill water? Cheers

    I top up every alternate day 2 litre, 50% WC during weekends.

    Plants should not be a problem but some shrimps will not like it. The gh/tds will increase as evaporation will leave minireals behind & your just adding more in.
    I age water for topup in 1 litre containers.

    Sorry bro, I have to disagree with you. The name of the product is ANS -or Aqua Nature System. The front that looks like C is just a design of the product. The company distributing this is East Ocean Aquatic Trading Centre. www.eastoceansg.com CANS is not the product name. On their web they call it ANS as well. I did a call to confirm and it's ANS not CANS. Perhaps years ago people see them as CANS but C stands for? It cannot be cooling as ANS sells other products like nets, co2 accesories.

    Nope, aged water never add all that. They sit for a few days and I'm not keeping those expensive shrimp. Only Sakura max, I think my gh also quite high as I dose fert.

    He is not really wrong in a sense. But you might want to see what you will be keeping against what he is keeping. Make a judge on what you see/hear/research and from there make a choice.

    Btw: No sms lingos please. The next one I will start giving infraction.

    If you increase evaporation, it will get more humid, anyway before and after rain, always feels humid. Ahem...your C328 auntie can look blur, but in the right language, say if you looking for a certain Jebo external filter with a certain model number. She will ask you to wait....10mins passed and she come back with the correct filter, brand new, and give you a discount somemore. People can grow old one, your turn will come. Careful next time what others will say about you when you grow old. It's a cycle....heh heh...call retribution. In time to come, you will be the CO2 powerhouse. So no need to buy PowerHouse liao. In case you don't know what is it, go back GC again.

    I poor man bro. Can't afford those powerhouse products. Apparently they say most LFS uses them for their own? It's too expensive for my pocket.

    Those taxi fan clip small. Really good just nice to clip. Still remember that.

    My mom uses the toyomi brand. She clip it onto the cupboard in the kitchen. When she cooks she switch it on. Haha. Thought I use the fan to experiment for 2 weeks. But then it's so darn oily!!

    Saw the Sona fan but $20. Hais, poor folks like me, I think I use the olden day fan as attached.

    Oh by the way, did I miss your reply on another thread regarding kotobuki fan?
    (Nvm, saw it. Thanks.)

    this one ah?



    These few days really hard to keep the temp on a stable mode. Even with the fan, keep temp is pretty jumpy.

    Kinda concerned about the shrimps. Thinking of letting go it to better owner and swap in for some fishes instead.. Any good input for this concern?
