Off topic but, how did you keep the tank temp down in this tank?

I used a Chiller, bought a 1/4 Pacific Coast and it maintains the water temp real well. I have had some pretty good success with it collecting livestock from local waters and some of the annenomies you can collect from here are pretty stunning. Hence why im looking to upgrade to a larger tank as this was a test tank to see if it would work. Also the local fish here are pretty too and nice to see in the tank rather than freeze your butt off in the water and have to come back up after a 60 min dive. Being cold water here, MH are not so much of a prime concern also so its a pretty low maintenance tank except form the chiller which i got used on ebay for real cheap and works great. The real trick is finding food that they eat as their diets and habitats arnt as widely known as fish from the hobby, but a few trips and chats to locals at the vancouver aquarium soon helps.

Anyone got a larger tank they wish to donate? I could trade you for some local live stock that i collect on dives?
