Local Cold Water Marine Species
 

Don't know if this should be posted here or in Reef forum but here goes.

Was surfing the internet today and came across a site dedicated to the Marine Santuary of Race Rocks. (near Victoria) There are lots of pic's and vid's of some of the local marine lifeforms. I was shocked not only by the vivid colors but the shear diversity of inverts and soft corals found in our local waters. Definatley worth looking through this site. Kinda makes me want to get a kick butt chiller, but somehow I don't know if such an area can be even remotely recreated in home aquarium

Cool webcam :cool:

True, but I find all the best stuff is in video archive. All the dive vid's make me want to take the sport up.

Every summer I get a 33 gallon local tank up and running. Its really cool to see all the stuff in an aquarium. I never had or will have corals in it though. Within the next year or so I am planning on setting up a permanent 150. Also its ALOT cheaper than tropical tanks.
