When you're dealing with saltwater invertebrates, you have to consider food, and you have to consider a lot of times their exo-skeleton. If you're dealing with coral, or shrimp, or what have you. They have to have a certain level of calcium, and certain level of minor major trace elements always present in the water for them to thrive. They also, when you're speaking of coral, they are photo-synthetic, kind of like fresh water plants are, they have to have excellent lighting system so they can survive. And then there's foods that they also need. Phyto-plankton and zooto-plankton being the major ones. So you're looking at major minor trace elements, calcium, and different foods.
