Anyone know how his rebuild is going? I am just glad the cold water tanks were not affected by his crash.

YL- You don't have to have a dry suit to dive in the cold. 7mm wet works too. I love to dive here in the Puget Sound and I have never needed or wanted a dry suit.

Have you tried to acclimate any of the cold water creatures to warm water? I was curious on this for the rock and anenomes more than anything. I have successfully added some zebra mussels to my tank... and with that came a couple of jellies... Only saw the jellies for a couple of days... but the mussels are doing good.

Steve, I have to say, I have never seen a nicer looking tank, The colors are so vivid, I wish I had a way to get cold water fish, i would give it a try.


When I move and downside all my tanks , I am going to go with a cooler tank for my seahorses, but not a cold water.

That is a basket starfish. When it comes out to feed, the seahorses seem to think that it is a nifty hitching post.
