Who has a cold water setup?

I don’t think anyone on here is unrealistic enough to run a multi-hundred dollar water chiller on a $15-$20 aquarium….

You can buy a brand new 1/10th HP chiller on Amazon for under $200 now. I'm running one on my 12 gallon Coldwater tank. Runs at 57°F

And these have titanium heat exchangers/no zinc, chromium, nickel, copper, or tin in the wetted parts?

That’s Incredible if so…

I haven't disassembled it or anything to verify but that is their claim. Realistically all the chillers have been coming from the same places overseas for years and outside of that one piece that contacts the water inside the reservoir, they are just tiny fridges/air conditioners essentially.

Uhm... My first temperate was a 6g nano that I ran on a canister filter and a $500 Artica...
You do what you got to do...

They are invasive non native anemones from Europe. They are on almost every rock jetty on the south end of Long Island near Rockaway all the way down the Jersey Shore now. If you go at low tide and look just below and around the Mussel line you'll find them. Search Inaturalist for "Actinia Equina" in those areas to get sightings and locations more specifically :)

im in jersey which is why im asking, I see them all the time at asbury, but how do u collect them?

I got mine by just slowly scraping it off with a net/ jar to avoid hurting it, but they’re pretty hardy
