There have been many other threads about people like you asking the same question you are and getting the same answer. Don't mean to be rude or anything, but there is a search bar on this forum for a reason. Use it.

the one for reef keeping is made of material that is saltwater resistant, meaning rust-proof. the regular one is most likely not.

I didn't say that just so I can boost my post count, i'm just getting a little tired of seeing all of these threads that are just repeats of other threads. I mean, whats the point of having a search bar to search through all of the threads when no one in going to use it?

ok yes there is a search bar but some old ideas are new one for other people so when i look at NEW POSTS and see this it is something i wouldnt think of.
so if it is old then why do people ask questions? it is to learn and if you look at an old post you may not get the new info that could help someone.
I look at post to learn new and old even if it is about van halen on a salt water message board
thank you again for asking your question.
