nice, welcome to CRs hobby do some reading b4 embarking on it will help you

I just started this as well & I could share with you...

I'm on a 1.5 X 1.0 X 1.0 Tank which I think is ok but alot of the people feel this is the minimum... If you want you can consider a 2 Footer one which I feel is a better setup with less problems on water parameter for water changes...

Mine is an old tank in the storeroom so no choice...

thanx peter you have been helpful

[PLee]

try at least a 2 ft tank will be better

I have just started and also with a 2ft tank, a canister(fluval 304) and a chiller(CL280).

[PLee]

your setup almost the same as my first.

2ft ehiem 2028 and resun 280 too lol

Can use fan instead of chiller?

[AAmos]

I read there are some bros here using Fan to cool the water . however have to top up water quite frequent cause water evaporate quite fast

The other problem is Temp fluctuation which is so ideal for keeping crs... I read that the crs will have a shorter lifespan... But then again there are others who have breeding crs in a tank just using fans...
