    Coming soon...

    Decided to take the plunge into the cold! Purchased a temperate tank from Micro-Reefs.com. Mike has been a great guy to work with. Answered tons of questions and worked out a hell of a deal on the tank .


    Equipment:

    • 2 gallon Micro-Reefs black background acrylic tank
    • AquaClear 20 filter pre-drilled for Micro-Chiller
    • CoolWorks Micro-Chiller with a/c power adapter
    • CoolWorks controller for Micro-Chiller
    • AA Aquarium Digital Thermometer w/alarm
    • Coralife Aqualight mini T5 fixture

    Livestock:

    • Fluffy Sculpin
    • Strawberry anemone
    • Sitka Shrimp
    • Goose-Neck Barnacle Cluster
    • Light Bulb Tunicate
    • Aggregating Anemone
    • Mussel Cluster

    I'll be getting all of my livestock from coldwatermarineaquatics.com. Talked to the guys there (Josh and Stu) and worked out the stock list. They have been extremely helpful and I look forward to purchasing from them soon.

    This tank will reside in my office along with the Peacock tank.

    Much more to come once things start to arrive.

    Sounds very interesting! I hope you will post pics once it's all set up! I'm going to look up some of those species you're keeping. Haven't heard of several of them....

    Thanks all.

    Stock list updated - Added Mussels.

    It looks like the tank should ship today (hopefully). I'm guessing it will arrive early-mid next week.

    Hopefully I can get something worked out with the guys at CWA and get things moving for this tank :).

    Small update:

    There was a small error in shipping and it looks like the tank will now arrive on Monday of next week.

    No worries on this end, as I still have plenty of time to plan things out.
