Jack-the-reefer Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I've always loved the tide pools at the coast. So I decided to build one at home. The setup is just a ceramic planter that I drilled, painted, and sealed the inside. Since it's only viewable from the top down, I wanted to avoid surface agitation. So I put the return line inside the drain and kept it close to the bottom. All I need to do is figure out what I'm using as a sump and it'll be ready to go. I can't wait to be able to go out and collect! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Interesting idea. How will you keep the water temps down to acceptable levels? What are you planning on keeping in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one or two small fish. I'm more interested in the inverts though. Edited December 13, 2016 by Jack-the-reefer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
