Im setting up a chilled system right now, but I can't really afford a big chiller so I got a tiny ice probe one and 2 sets of 6 fan cooling units. I'm hoping to keep lumpfish but I know they need cool water, does this sound okay?

New England Aquarium has or had Lumpfish on display. As I recall, the water was so chilled, the front glass was sweating.

I have found lumpfish in tide pools on the north shore. Go out on the rocks on a low moon tide and get to the farthest out pools [a calm surf day of course]. Start going through the strands of kelp strand by strand and look closely.
That's some cold water! I'm guessing it takes a big chiller and alot of juice to keep those guys.
