yay lumpsuckers! my fave fish at the aquarium. actually, my fave bony fish ever lol. I showed my mum one of those to convine her to let me have a coldwater tank and this was her reply "why would you want to keep leeches?" ... wth. took a while to explain that it wasn't a bloodsucking slug.

can we get some pics of the chiller set up and a current fts? what kind of pump do you use for the chiller?

The chiller is not set up yet...whats fts? I am going to run the chiller off of my main pump. I will cut the pipe and make another diverter with a shut off valve so I can regulate the water flow.

sounds like a plan. lol fts means "full tank shot"

Ah I under stand but no I have no "fts"because there isn't really much to look at right now in it. On a side note this thread has almost 1000 views. I don't think there are many more threads on canreef this sweet.

Id say this is an awesome thread but without a lot of input because so little people actually know much about coldwater tanks. Most people i talk to think they're more maintenance, more expensive and ugly and just different shades of crap brown. all of which are really quite untrue. three cheers for myth busting!

what do you plan on throwing in there once you got the chiller set up? or are you just gonna collect whatever catches your eye?

There's some decent info on wet web media. Just search under cold water marine.
Justin, how's the traffic in PoMo these days???I don't miss it a bit. Rush hour in C.R. is when 5 different people decide to use the same street at once. Layed back.
