Oh man oh man....I cannot believe that. You have the oceans natural resources right there and are killing all kinds of stuff that would be so great in your tank!
I'm sorry but IMO you're working your aquarium a little off from how I would do it. Adam Blundell and Seti007 have come back with stuff from Florida and have graciously shared it with me. We did not FW dip any of it as far as I know.
The attitude that I feel is needed by the successful reef hobbyist is to get as much natural diversity as possible and let it rule! Don't mess with Mother Nature too much. She knows what she is doing, even in our little ecosystems!
