My goal is to run a tank with estuary fish where the salinity fluctuates between high end brackish and the lower limits of full marine. A gradual change from about 1.012 to 1.020 This will keep the fish healthy from any saltwater parasites who can't handle the low salinity, and fresh water parasites who can't handle the high salinity. It will also save me money on salt
My understanding is live rock won't work in that scenario, so for filtration I will be relying on big canister filters and maybe a whole sump system.
Will this work and are there any fish I should avoid because they rely on the live rock for food?
