It's coastal Norway, not So. Cal, but Jon Olav's Temperate Aquarium blog is very inspiring. He really lived the dream of building a cold water eco-system in a big box in one's living room, and documented it beautifully in his blog.skywindsurfer;178892 said:There is something mysteriously alluring about temperate environments that just captures me. I would love to recreate an exact environment with flora and fauna from the CA coast line.

How did you get her to sign off on something as obtrusive as a 60" diameter, 36" tall circular tank? It'll be like parking a small car in your house, except that it will be so much more appealing because it will be filled with squid. That's one tolerant woman you've got there.skywindsurfer;178943 said:my wife's not too keen on that idea because she doesn't want any more tanks.
