Hi Guys,

I took a break for a few years and now have my own home, so its time to setup a tank again. The theme of this tank is as little life taken directly from the ocean as possible.

I'm also going to be using the foam rock/wall design.

I'll post some pictures soon of the process as it goes along.

Looking for recommendations on members and shops that sell aqua cultured fish.

Also, a couple suggestions on fish/invert that have a lot of character, as I hope to keep a low fish load.

Check out green marine in berkely, all about captive stuff! Other stores can often order stuff from Ora for you as well
