This is very very nice. I thought about doing this but I did not want to see the unsightly chiller. Do you have a picture of the whole setup?? I'm thinking about hiding the chiller in a vented stand.

Thank you

Since it is only 7 gallons and well insulated I am using a very tiny chiller. It just sits directly behind the tank.

Very impressive to see a "frosty reef" Nicely done and very nice choice on live stock as well..

Thanks all The tank is only 2.5 months old so I have a lot of livestock plans, most of which is just a waiting game until it gets collected.
