I used to get a kick out of "Coldwater Tanks" channel on YouTube but he hasn't posted anything (as far as I can tell) in over a year.
He's in Norway and was keeping creatures from his local waters.

I ran a 400-gal coldwater tank for about 10 years awhile back. It was stocked mostly with Puget Sound, Washington critters that I collected myself. Here's a video of it.

Nice great you got orcas in there

Your tanks are always incredibly, thanks for sharing

is that an Abalone?

Yes! Farm raised red abalone... Of course he picked a spot at the back of the tank and doesn’t really move...

What is the animal shown at 1:36 and what type of nudibranch do you have?

 

[steveweast]

I am unsure about the nudibranch but the fish at the 1:36 mark is a Grunt Sculpin. It is a bottom dwelling fish that basically walks around on its fins.....kind of like the tropical long nose hawk fish. I assume that the Grunt Sculpin doesn't have a swim bladder....similar to the long nose hawk. This particular guy was collected off Anacortes, Washington at 120 feet depth.

Nice. But why does it seem that he is screaming “my name is Patrick!” In the pic?

While I think that looks more like a bat star,

I used to work at an aquarium where the creator of SpongeBob used to work at, and the inspiration of Patrick came from one of the short spine sea stars there

How has it been caring for a Gray smoothound? You don't hear many people who keep those in their tanks!

I have 2 Puget Sound Biotopes! My all time favorite aquariums! For anyone who’s interested… Insulate your tanks, get the largest chiller you can afford (JBJ Arcticas been good to me. 1/3rd HP is awesome, the 1/4 HP is quieter), and get a strong dc pump for flow rate. Steve Weast’s website: Oregon Reef provided the confidence to get me going.

Grunt sculpin, about 1-2” in length. Only species of its family. My favorite fish I’ve kept! Hungry and curious, very “puppy-like” behavior. This one sleeps in an empty barnacle at night.

Odd, I always find them in 60 or less. Just might have to dive a little deeper on my next go! Thank you for all of your information online, your 400 gal has always been my favorite.
