This talks about real ocean water and using an airstone. Good luck on the research.

That's awesome! I've never seen that video before. Does he breed them?

Don't think so. Looks like he just got them.

I've decided to try a bare bottom tank with marine SG water and one lump of live rock in the tank. Maybe use a slow air bubbler while cycling it.

Cool. What is your thinking of cons and pros of a bare bottom tank?

These turned up today!

Im going to use one for a marine setup :smile:



I thought some live rock may mature the tank faster, provide some filtration and keep the zooplankton healthy for longer but from what ive asked on a marine forum it may be pointless so im not sure now lol.

Hi Odin, may I know where did you get the alpha from?
