Re: [GSAS-Member] coldwater marine aquarium

I had a twenty-nine gallon tank going for a couple years a while back. I'm 
thinking
about doing it again. No chiller, just a cool room in the house. Lots of the 
critters
did fine at the warmer temperature. Outdoors works well too if the rain doesn't 
get in.
We kept crabs and fish, anemones, shrimp, and other stuff that my son and I 
found in
the tidepools or under rocks.Have to be careful about some of them as they are
voracious eaters and go after each other pretty bad. The Cottids (bullheads) are
especially cool fish to watch. You can keep anemones and crabs with them.
