Temperate Reef Tank

[Diana]

One summer I did a "tidepool" tank without a chiller. It worked well for the summer that I had it set up. I had barnicles, crabs, little tidepool anenomes, hermit crabs, and a small purple starfish. I'd love to try it again with a chiller to be able to keep more than just tidepool stuff.

Thanks to everybody who responded. I'm working on some drawings illustrating my planned set-up and would love to get some feedback when they are done.

Did you read that the Vancouver airport (int'l wing) is putting in a large cold water aquarium?

hey that does sound cool! i read found a little snippet off their site... "114-cubic-litre aquarium and a jellyfish tank. The aquarium will feature sea life native to British Columbia and the jellyfish tank will house 100 moon jellyfish." sounds fun. Mind you if you want to see some really nice temperate tanks in Vancouver, there's always the Vancouver Aquarium.

i wonder if that jelly tank will be a kreisel... I sure hope so. jellies don't do well in conventional aquariums.

I sure hope so...You've got to assume that somebody consulted somebody before they decided on jellyfish.

I would imagine (and hope) that the Van Aquarium would have something to do with the airport coldwater tank.

Thanks Dale. I just had a chance to read that thread. Great info in there. Keep me posted with your progress. I hope to have something up and running for the summer, so I'll be ready to go collecting! Let's go diving!!
