Hehe, we'll see if I pull it off. It's my first saltwater tank! Right now I'm in an illusional state thinking that saltwater is going to be easier than freshwater. Mainly because of skimming, the ultimate filtration method, and because saltwater naturally contains many of the nutrients that are lacking in FW. Also, there are many animals that eat thread algae and convert it into goo that can be skimmed out. Thread algae was the main problem in my FW native setups. Here is the tank after several rounds of pruning:
Hope it's not going to be like that in SW.
I am thinking about following the natural temperature curve here. I have a good link where I can see the temp at various depths throughout the year:
Daily sea temperature observations
I was thinking about keeping about the average at 1 m depth. Though it won't be practical to go down to 2C in february. Maybe 5C. Highest is in August with 18C. Maybe I'll kick it up to 20C a few days to simulate the high day temperature on sunny days.
