dillagas · 05/23/2008, 06:44 PM

diescreaming · 05/23/2008, 10:28 PM

i wish someone would, i have never seen one and would be very interested in seeing/starting one!

dillagas · 05/23/2008, 11:34 PM

the only person I know who has a coldwater, or at least where you can see one is at http://oregonreef.com/sub_coldwater.htm

All of this guys tanks are amazing

dendro982 · 05/24/2008, 06:40 AM

I'm also interested why no pictures. Check this 29 pages non-photosynthetic thread to see how many people are keeping these tanks, and how many pictures are posted. Why?

I'm not posting mine here because I posted too much of them before and got comments, I would like to avoid.

dillagas · 05/25/2008, 11:09 AM

understandable.......

Hey, everyone

Being apart of the Dendro thread, dendro982 is talking about, pictures are something most people fail to show. There are alot of claims when it comes to nps coral care, but very little photo documentation, like from purchase to present. There is alot of good info and alot of bad in some of these threads, but it would be better to see more pictures as proof to these claims.

dillagas · 05/27/2008, 11:33 AM

After checking the links above I stumbled upon a link to a place that sells cold water species........

http://foreshores.net/store/index.html

Has anyone purchased from them or have any knowledge of them?

airinhere · 05/27/2008, 01:43 PM

Here is my Gorgonian tank that I set up in late January.

You can see more of it here

Man you got to check out this guys site, It is very interesting reading, he is really doing a great job capturing a region of the ocean as a theme for each tank.

Henryreef · 10/06/2008, 06:32 PM

What is the green coral in the lower right, it is really nice!

If you can find a way to get livestock. Its not so easy to find. I am finally making some progress through my local aquarium which specializes in coldwater tanks and has a breeding program and also through local collection myself.

Make sure you start a build thread if you do set up a coldwater tank!

Your going to need a pretty big chiller as well to keep the tank at 55 degrees in Florida! You really have to make sure the tank never gets above 57-60 max.

It would be nice to see more people keeping coldwater tanks! It just has such completely different challenges than warm water. The main one maybe being such a slow cycle/low biological filtration meaning you need a huge skimmer and denitrator really.

Oh and make sure its an acrylic tank at least 3/4" thickness.
