i used to keep marines also here in aussie. i had a plenum system (jaubert), works brilliantly. the problem here was keeping the water temp down as it used to get too hot and the corals would bleach. this was because of the climate not due to the tanks set up. aside from that so long as you had good lighting and a protein skimmer the plenum would do the work for you. i had a lot of success and my corals quickly outgrew there tank. ( it was 8 foot x 2.5 foot x 2 foot!!!)anyway i do miss it but i dont have the right sort of house to be doing that anymore ( i live with my landlord as a tenant) and i am a long way from the coast.
