OK, I remember back in my FW days there were "biotopes" you could replicate. Has anyone put together a collection of stock biotopes that we as aquarists can replicate for our tanks?

Not sure what u are talking about. Spanky's tank is a biotope of a caribean reef. Is that what u are refering to????

Bingo! Alot of FW books give you a general idea of what you find in a "brakish" biotope, or a biotope for Cichlids.

Just wondering if those templates were available w/ marine tanks.

I would be interested in seeing any biotope plans available. I believe the caribbean is the most popular for 2 reasons. The uniqueness of the creatures and the proximity(availability) to us.

Jimmer,

This is a close replicate of a Caribbean patch reef.

Do you collect the inhabitants yourself? Awseome recreation.

Toad,

Permitting for collecting is restricted to just three people right now. We're working on that but it's going to be a slow process.
