well you can look at it like that, but if you just get tank raised fish which alot of them are, keeps enthusiasts away from ending up with wild caught species, and alot of us are into coral which is like plant clippings which will keep industry happy and no way detrimental to anything in the wild.

hey buddy just read through your posts, i tried with a small tank which was 160L juwel tank cycled it an everything 2 months or so later got a couple fish and soft corals and that was quite hard to keep running good parameters but i too was new to it now its a bit easier. I lost a fair few fish and an anemone but you live you learn, we all loose fish. I will say you have an option if your running a nano tank straight off the bat. There is a media which you can buy which filters alot of protein and waste, its called "purigen" and will rid the need of a skimmer if room or noise is an issue, this media just wants to be in some sort of flow tho for it to work and its what john runs in his nano at organism and is very effective. if your looking at salt yes i use red sea salt, not red sea max that is an actual saltwater tank u can buy. it can be expensive at about 34bux for 4kg but its the good stuff youll want to use it, and your right down here very hard to find anything live so best thing you can do right now? well throw your dry rock in a large container maybe a chilli bin like i am put your heater in and a decent pump for circulation and get your cycle of your rocks underway. Its what im currently doing, in wake of my new 450L setup. one thing thou make sure there is no light, you dont want algae straight of the bat just your good bacteria hope this helps, Cheers, Rosco
