Double post because i posted in the wrong forum.

Hello all,

So i acquired a free 75 gallon fish tank. I decided to do a saltwater aquarium. The situation is that her in bermuda u cannot buy salt water fish or stone so i will get it from our ocean. I will obviously follow all of the local laws which states i can take live rock from the ocean as long as there is no coral on it. I will fill the tank with water directly from the ocean. I would wondering if there are any other people on here who have done the same that could share experiences. I am also stuck on a lighting option. O want led lights but dont want the long ones as there is a big plastic divider in the middle. I also cant hang a light. I was looking for something that i could hang off of the tank. Can anyone give some advice?

Most new generation light systems have arms that clamp to the tank, like Noopsyche, Ecotech, or Kessil to name a few.

Use of live rock and natural seawater will be great!
