Biological filtration is a must. Unless you have an "open" system with continuous flow through of "new" clean seawater, you will be re-circulating your "closed" systems aquatic medium along with livestock wastes and uneaten food. These materials are toxic to your fishes and invertebrates unless expediently converted to less noxious materials and/or filtered out. This is the realm of biological filtration for most of us; circulating system water through a matrix/substrate housing beneficial nutrient-cycling bacteria.

The simplest of these bio-filters are air-dri

will pay big dividends in temperature fluctuation and chilling costs. You can buy wrapping for the plumbing and adhere Styrofoam sheet on all tank sides that arent viewed through. Dedicated cool systems can be procured that have double-pane panels, fiberglass and foam. Acrylic aquariums are far more heat-resisting than glass.

Daphnia For The Aquarium

Daphnia are a great food source for both young and adult aquarium fish, you could catch them with a net in a pond, but their's a risk of bringing in parasites. I just found an article about growing daphni.

Corals Need More Than a Lot of Light
Contrary to popular belief, a vast majority of corals are not autotrophic, requiring only light to survive. Autotrophs produce their own food from inorganic material they extract from their surrounding....
