Serious?
Achieveing 24 degrees with a fan? My friend did an experiment and use a big Akira Fan (those that use in the house) to blow at the water surface overnight. Best temp achieve is also only about 27 degree. |

My best with fan is only able to bring it down to 26.5 C only if the ambient temperature is around 29 C however for the past few weeks unable to bring it down below 27.5 C. My tank size is also 1.5 ft
Care to share how you manage it, what did you do differently? |

Let the tank mature. As wenjun said, there's likelihood the bio-load is too heavy, which could have killed the shrimps (poisoning). Stop buying or adding anything, leave the tank alone for now. The more you try to rectify, the more puzzled it MAY get.

Hi Reaverx & Oscar77
Firstly did u cycle yr tank? Yes. Did u acclimatize yr shrimp? No idea . (Please advise) Magpie, Fyi, once I can able to maintain currently cherry and sakura and might proceed further. Question: Housing the chiller in the living hall, will it be increase the temperature of the living hall? Hi, Wenjun & Wjustin, Take size? - My tank size is 2.5ft X 1.5 X 1.9Ft(H) Did you add all your shrimps( 100 cherry + crs ) in one shot into your tank? No, I first started with 50 cherries and about a week later I added another 50 cherries and CRS in because it reducing. Fyi, still adding in once it reducing, I try tiger shrimp, snow ball shrimp and bee shrimp from C328. Water parameter? Yet to check and will check this week end. (Please advice what is the correct PH and how to reduce if I tested the PH is High/Low?) Many Thank for Advise. |

(1) Go read up the sticky where many info and FAQs provides you some info on what you asked. (2) Heed advise and not add in anymore lives for now, till your tank matures or stablise? That may take another month, but isn't it worth the wait? |
