I was there one time while he was making a special cold water tank that had insulation on 3 sides and he had gutted an old fridge and was using the cooling system from this to cool it. It looked realy "cool"

Joel,
Been to Jack's many moons ago. Thought the place was kinda creepy, but maybe that's just me
Don't like the idea of using old fridges because the cooling liquids are outdated and not so environmentally friendly as new. Would like to buy a chiller that has a warranty, as well.
Also, want to see the tank from three sides.

Really, all I want is a temperate tank to house a particular species of captive bred Australian/New Zealand seahorse and pretty much do a species tank except for adding a clean up crew. Water temps in the tank would be about 67-69 F, more or less. Not looking to do duplicate a Queen Charlotte Island or similar Canadian marine environment
You guys sure have great suggestions on how to do marvelous temperate tanks

I'll be looking for photos of what you all put together
