New England Cold Water Tank

[ChrisTeifke]

Does anyone have experience keeping a New England biome cold water tank? I'd like to keep some sub-low tide species, mostly inverts, collected while diving. Has anyone had sucess feeding them? I'm a little worried about setting everything up only to have them starve

Cold water tanks are possible, they have a wide range of them at out local aquarium. I think the challenge is maintaining proper water temp more so than feeding, unless you get some species with difficult diets to provide.

Many of them will do quite well. However, depending on species, some might require being chilled down into the 50's. A lot of that will also depend on where the specimens are comming from, i.e. southern New England vs. northern.
