Hello everybody, Ever wonder how the snails are scraping the algae? This shot is difficult to get, their mouth is moving so fast!

Hi Santa, I have the larger chiller models: the Johnlen thermoelectric chillers are very economical on my power bill and they are very quiet for a chiller. There is a small one for any tank under 40 litre. I highly recommend these as they do not hike up your electricity bills. You are welcome to pm me if you want to know where to get one. I do not want to be disrespectful to the forum sponsors by advertising for someone else.

Today I was out for a ride and got down near a really nice little creek bed. Plenty of moss and interesting plants. liverwort nice moss favorite thing I found, seems to grow from runners vehicle of choice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the replies! I have looked up plenty of chillers but most seem to use the peltier effect for lower water volumes? I realise that a proper chiller which uses a refrigerant is probably impractical for such a small tank but I was hoping that there would be an equivalent way of cooling with such precision. Seems like my best bet is to keep the aircon on during the summer?

Our sponsors don't have any unfortunately. I just look on line at various stores when I want something. I don't know of a particular chiller but know that when I was researching for my big chiller I saw quite a few nano chillers. They are still $200-$300 but you need something if you want to keep your shrimp over summer. I still like the fans I found my tank much more stable with my 4 fans than with my chiller. The chiller goes 2 degrees higher than the set temp before it comes on so I have a 2 degree swing continuously yet when I had the fans I could get it down to a 0 .5. Degree. Possibly other chillers can be adjusted more finely .

This is what i have organised so far plus a couple of boss aquaria packs. I'll see what else i can get my hands on ..
