Sorry.... no link. The system is a sort of ghetto system that I hacked together to test the viability of cold water tanks. The water temp is 58 F. The tank and sump is made from 1" thick acrylic to prevent sweating. There is a system volume of about 150 gal. The only equipment is a 1/2 hp chiller, one circulation pump, a few T5's and a skimmer....that's it. Some of the stock came from Tasmania....but, most of it I collected myself from Puget Sound.

That 1" thick acryllic pretty much rules out a cold water tank in my near future.
