Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Hey, another Micro-reefs tank near me! Mine's tropical though. lol Just curious, Mike how many of your tanks are in Ohio that you can think of off the top of your head? LOL Don't I owe you the tabs for your canopy? I cannnot remember but I think you require them and I never sent them. Can you send me a PM so I can send them out ASAP! Thanks, MG p.s I have a few systems in Ohio.. They've been great to talk to on the phone. It just seems email is a bit slower to respond to. I understand they are busy so no real worries. I will send them a friendly reminder, they are always happy to jump into areas they might have overlooked. Josh and Stu are the best set of reefers I have had the opportunity to meet and work with...

AquaticEngineer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sorry for the delay on that, we've been transitioning to a new holding system and just got it stocked back up today. I will shoot you an email here in just a bit Link to comment

Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Awesome! I am really looking forward to seeing this cold water reef come alive! I will join you soon, almost done with my SPS system and then it's back to my favorite reefing, COLD WATER! Link to comment
AquaticEngineer Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Here is a picture I took last night of the Fluffy Sculpin I'm holding for you http://s246.photobucket.com/user/Stuwobbe/media/temporary_zps1c68ea7f.jpg.html'> Link to comment
ccapasso Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Nice color. I like it Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You will love this guy so much! He became my favorite fish when he arrived. They sent me a tiny guy not much bigger than 2 thumb size nails. He was the star of my 2 gallon. He had two friends with him a tiny gunnel and a California goby. That was the beginning of my passion for Cold Water Reefing. Link to comment

ccapasso Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks guys! Looking forward to getting this going. I will be out of the office tomorrow but plan on bringing in water for the tank to get the temp down to 55 and hopefully keep it there. Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just seeing how active ColdWaterMarine is here in your thread (And as a whole their internet presence. They even visit a thread in my local reefing forum on RC!) makes me want a temperate tank. Well. That and coldwater anemones. Christ temperate anemones are awesome. Link to comment
JoshColdWater Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Just seeing how active ColdWaterMarine is here in your thread (And as a whole their internet presence.

Stew is better at keeping up with online threads but I chime in now and then, and yes I agree cold water nems are great! Check out our facebook to see some European stock you can order!

AquaticEngineer Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Its hard not to I was on most of these forums before I even had a coldwater tank, and I documented just about all of my personal experiences on here as I went. I kind of eat, sleep, and breath coldwater. Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Your 2 gallon will not have a problem getting down to 55 F degrees, I did it with thinner acrylic than yours. Yours is 3/8 inch material far better than what I used, 3/16 inch. I know yours will do great! 55 F degrees of Coolness don't forget we coined that phrase and I wore t-shirt at the show.

ccapasso Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 We have water! Just put the water in at lunch. Will not be ready for livestock next week. Need to work on tuning cooler to get it to 55. I'm out of the office tomorrow so will not be able to work on more until Monday. Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Came back into the office from the weekend and good news: The tank is at 54.5 degrees! Turned the light on and watching for any changes. Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Well, tank is not holding at 55. Even with the chiller turned up all the way and running constantly. It is now at 60.... Link to comment
BadCrab Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Whats the ambient temperature in the room? Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Came back into the office from the weekend and good news: The tank is at 54.5 degrees! Turned the light on and watching for any changes. Awesome! You have 3/8" inch acrylic on the 2 gallon. When we did our trials I achieved 55 F degrees with 3/16" acrylic that was originally for our tropical tanks. So, you will have better insulation than us! Your chiller should get a small break in the night as the temps drop. You will see temps go up and down, do not worry it's okay! The inter-tidal critters/anemones that CWMA get do very well in this tank. I remember we had really high ambient temps in our room where the 2 gallon was exposed to 90 + in our room and our 2 gallon got at high as 67 F degrees and then back down to 55 degrees in the night. There were ZERO casualties! THE COLD WATER INTER-TIDAL GUYS ARE STRONG! I am really watching your thread and anything you need from us, please let us know! Sincerely, MG Well, tank is not holding at 55. Even with the chiller turned up all the way and running constantly. It is now at 60.... Do not worry! You have not added sand, live rocks etc. When you add all your rocks and sand you are going to drive down the water volume which will allow the chiller to cool less. Your water volume is much higher right now. When the water cools down to 55 degrees it brings down the sand and live rock to that level, those items must release their values before the temps rise again. Keep us posted! MG Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks all. Room temp is 76.6 and tank is 60. I'm not too worried honestly. A 5 degree swing isn't a big thing really. That and as Mike stated, I still have to add the rock and sand. Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Delivery is coming today .... Link to comment
ccapasso Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Package arrived! In meetings so no getting to it until later. Link to comment
