How many of you guys have or have had native reef or marine tanks. I assume a "native" tank is supposed to have locally collected inhabitant, but maybe not? Anyway, I saw a few of MARK'S AQUATICS videos about his welsh native aquarium and the collection process. Seems super cool and I was wondering how many of yall have done this. . . .

Here in Colorado there aren't a lot of oceans nearby and even fewer reefs haha. . . so I will have to live vicariously through others.

Please share!

probably hard to do because of collecting restrictions, i know someone on reefcentral used to do it in i think australia bringing in corals and fish from tidal pools. Really cool stuff too if you can find it, it is a nice shot a tide pool life to aquarium transition
