Cold Water Systems

Anyone know how to run or where to buy products/livestock for a cold water set up?

a friend of mine scubas in long island sound and finds all types of cool stuff from gobies to anemones to sponges and star coral polyps. just need a good chiller and treat it as if it were a reef tank. dont need quite as much light though.

Do a search here on RC, I have seen some people with some very nice cold water systems.

There was a thread about it in the advanced section.
Shops dont really sell cold water liveestock, you have to collect your own.

Yeah I have had one going for a little while (bout 3 months) Have an American Lobster and a winter flounder and bunch of stupid periwinkles or snails. I was just wondering about livestock where to get more variety.
