In my view, macro tanks (in particular coldwater ones), are the most fascinating marine tanks. I've keep various coldwater species (see signature), but I do find them particularly hard to keep, sometimes due to temperature, sometimes lighting. The Zostera I've kept (they look like freshwater Vallisneria) were relatively easy, but hard to obtain.
Others, like Chaetomorpha are easy enough to keep, but (IMO) are best suited to the refugium since they eventually tangle in everything!
I'm hoping to post some photos of my coldwater tank after the holidays, once I get my 'camera issues' in order.
