Thanks for the warm welcome! Seems like a great forum this!
Anyways, introducing my 180L (47 gallon) Juwel glass tank. Have no sump, so it looks a bit of a mess. It's been up and running for about 1,5 years now. My first ever saltwater tank, and my first tank at all for about 25 years... It's a coldwater tank exclusively filled with creatures from my own area (Hitra, Norway) that I've caught and picked myself. (I work as a crabfisherman, so I get a lot of interesting stuff in my traps during the season.) Here's a picture of the tank from a while ago.
I ran the thing without a chiller for a long time, and that worked fine enough for the most part, but got a TECO TK 500 chiller eventually that I'm very happy with. Now able to keep the temperature at 15-16C (59-61F), which is good enough.
Made a short video a while ago about the setup that you can see here:
Also made some videos of some of the inhabitants if you're interested in seeing that. They're posted below.
Think I'll keep it relatively short here.. If there's any questions, I'm happy to reply.
There's been a lot of stuff in (and out) of the tank since I first started it, so I'll finish up with a few (lot) of pictures.
