darkfur Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I used to have one that had those lovely red warratah anemones in it among other things. There are those glass shrimps, they adapt well but like jumping, and starfish are cool but will eat anyone that stays still long enough. I had a neat nudibranch that I found too. The hardest part is keeping things cool therefore rockpool dwellers are good as they tolerate changes in temperature and salinity better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 We have had a cold water marine too but no pics sorry (before digital cameras ) We made ours a rock pool marine and it had all sorts in it, even a tiny octopus (until he escaped). We had chitons, brittlestars, starfish, anemones, sea cucumbers, a hermit crab, lots of shrimp, rockfish and triplefins to name a few. Had major problems in summer though as, without a chiller, we could not keep the temperature low enough. Even rock pool dwellers can only tolerate warmer temperatures for a short period.

VinsonMassif Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 http://www.nzmas.co.nz/site/viewtopic.php?t=1488 OMG I am so jealous right now. I am not a fan of tropical reef tanks. But I am a sucker for native cold water. I think I have seen the tank from page #8. If it's your thing then it is Orgasmic Oh Yeah Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously WOW.
