hi everyone!
im just starting out on marine aquariums and i was in need of some help from you veterans :dance2: first thing is should i get a 35 gallon long (48") but its not very tall or should i get a 43 gallon 90cmx45cmx45cm? second is it safe to take small peices of live rock from the ocean? i live on okinawa japan and its surrounded by reefs. and the law says you may take rock but you cannot be in scuba attire. if so can i lay base rock on the bottom of the tank then add maybe 2-3 peices of live rock from the ocean on top of the base rock? And one more thing since i wont have any inverts such as coral or anenome's, do i HAVE to have R/O water?(only a FOWLR setup)
thank you very much for any help in advance!
ps sorry for crazy questions.
