Yes...condensation...the water temp is 58 - 60....and the outside air temp could be 80 or more.....it's even worse if you live in a high humidity area. Think of a glass of ice water on a summers day....SWEATING. The solution is to insulate the tank and sump. Acrylic is a good insulator.....my tank and sump have yet to sweat a drop.... winter or summer.... with their 1" thick acrylic.
Cold water livestock is currently hard to come by, but not impossible...but, as more folks venture into this arena, that will change. Right now, there are quite a few cold water animals that make it into our warm water stores...catalina gobies, wartah anemones, turbo snails, white bar boxes, margarita snails, red foot snails, several stars...oh, and those green/red rose anemones that were all the rage last summer that flooded the market....but, somehow died after a few weeks....they were collected from a temperate region in China...or so, I'm told.
