only been running a couple of months currently housing, several prawns, 2 shore crabs, a handful of winkles and some wracks and seaweeds. oh and a mussel lol. planned stock is a little hazy pretty much anything i catch while out fishing or find rockpooling thats small enough and anything that out grows the tank will be released. I'm hoping over the next few months to build a larger plywood tank to better spec so i can build in some decent insulation to help maintain the lower temps currently running at 16 degrees with a dd dc300 chiller but ideal want 12-14 degrees. looking at building something along the lines of 3x2x2 if the tank remains in the house or if i set up in the shed will be looking 6x3x2 but obviously will require more investment on the chiller front, but has the bonus of being big enough to entertain the idea of native sharks and rays!
