Mandinga Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Seeing as though we live in the Pacific NW, I am very curious about starting a cold water reef... I found a Marineland ML-24 FL that is 110 gallons and has a working thermometer, chiller and circulation pump...for a real good price. Anyone ever tried something like this? If I don't but this thing, it seems like great deal...PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcoralfarm Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I have been wanting to, I know there are a few other people on here that run coldwater tanks, steveweast is one name that comes to mind. I believe he has a really nice setup, you might throw some questions his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If I recall right Steve took his system down a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still is a great source for info, I think you are right though, now that you mention that it seems that I just read something about it.

Michael7979 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Actually Steve sold it to Randy and it has been at SWF for awhile. Haven't been there lately so I do not know if it still is. And Tidalsculpin (Joel) has/had one in his classroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I may be interested. I kept coldwater marines back in the 1970's. I would really like to get back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve has his coldwater system back and running again. http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_coldwater.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Steve has his coldwater system back and running again. http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_coldwater.htm This looks to be accurate. He posted end of Sep. stating that he is still running a coldwater system. So either he only took down the big tank or he set a coldwater system back up.

True.....but, I got it back from Randy back in February. Right now, I'm just growing it out and experimenting with automated feedings while I plan for a little larger cold tank.
