dclaassen Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I saw this today in a craigslist post: http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/for/975942092.html It's a 90g lobster style tank. I guess it has double panes of glass? I never had heard of that before but maybe it's to cut down on the glass sweating? I also don't know if the condenser works, sounds like more how a fridge cools down. The guy said the bottom is plexi and there are condenser tubes under it. That's all I know about it just wanted to see what some of you thought. Link to comment
celticsfan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The double glass acts as an insulator to keep the water cool and subsequently cuts the sweating. Link to comment
Instant Lotion Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have one pretty similar, w/the double pane can't see if they included a pic bc the posting was deleted, but here is what mine looks like. Link to comment
hooligan_78 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's one of Marineland's! Nice. From humble beginnings in the commercial lobster industry... Link to comment
jeremai Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 DO IT. Assuming everything works, the main issue with lobster tanks is temperature management. They're not usually built to very exacting standards, being designed for short-term holding and not long-term survival, so sometimes they don't hold a steady temperature as well as we would like. But they're still pretty kick-ass. Link to comment
