Looks nice, but calling it a cold water tank at that temp is a miss use of terms
I just looked you can get a 40 degree pull down with a 1/5 hp UMI chiller or a 1/4 hp Pacific coast chiller.
just the fact that none of your barnacles or mussels are open and pumping is an indication that it is to hot for them. they think the tide is going down because of the increase in temp and are staying closed to preserve there moisture when they tide is low and they are exposed.
