Ok, there's been a few posts on mods going around and rock structures posts are flying around as I type - - so in salt systems understanding that just about anything we put in our tanks affects them - - what are some non tradition things that might be ok in there i.e. marble pieces [not the ones you play with,lol} slate/shale, what about a piece of ship wreck? [not that they are readily available] but I do have a couple dive buddies from when i was in the service - - might be able to score some cool stuff - - -thoughts, knowledge, concerns, ideas???? Boss

and yes i know, no plecos under 55 gallons

don't have anything in mind right off - - i have seen some of the stuff they have brought up over the years - -old pottery, coins, hinges, just cool looking trinkets - -no treasure chests or anything like that - -i just think it woud be cool to say "yeah, that's off the spnash gallion so and so it sank in the 1700's" or to have a cool piece of roman looking marble sitting in with the live rock "atlantis" looking - - ok is this sounding stupid????

I don't know if they mention this on that site, but NO COINS OF ANY KIND for a saltwater tank. Can be toxic and will corrode, that's why you not suppose to put any metal stuff into your tank.

cool, thanks, thats why I ask questions, I've destroyed one tank on my own and with bad advice already, so i'll be asking about everything before i move from here out - - your two eyed fish gonna make it??? lol

I think a waste about 1000.00 dollars before I started to ask questions. I was stupid and stubborn. I'm still stupid, but less stubborn:-) The fish is just fine. He eats and swims..So healthy..idk.. He acts like a normal 3 eyed fish..idk man..idk
