Welcome to R2R! You must of loved your native marine tank enough to create your first post to share with everyone.I kept temperate tanks in the 1970s with fish and invertebrates from the inter-tidal zone in the North Sea. Some fascinating species and a lot of pleasure gained and a lot learned from seeking them out yourself. Biggest problem was keeping the water at low enough temperatures as no water chillers were around at the time. If you don't live near a rocky coastline then its very difficult to get specimens. I did use natural seawater, collected locally, for both my temperate and tropical tanks. We called them native marines by the way as opposed to tropical marines.
