    There used to be a good North sea tank in Cleethorpes next to Pleasure Island. I think it would be a doddle to run and I have often though about setting one up :)

    I know someone who has not long set up a cold water marine nano. A lot of the stock came from my local beach at Troon. Seems to be going well. He's a mod on another BB so if you want a link, pm me ;)

    i know a couple of guys who have done it, they both look great. 1 of them has a tidal system to simulate rock pools.

    I did my degree project on coldwater beadlet anemones (the red blobs on exposed rocks at low tide) and they were VERY easy to keep so I'm guessing other stuff would be too.
