Tropic marin pro reef and red sea blue are close to NSW and proven very popular. Many other manufacturers levels are either too elevated or lack essential elements for sps dominated reefs.

Red sea blue has less trace, imo Tropic Marin pro reef is the better. Price is similar, bare in mind red sea bucket is smaller at 22kgs (iirc) and tmpr coming in 25kg & 20kg options

As for fish stock im limeted with just 15 liters so was thinking pistal shrimp / gobby pair

Coral wise im not decided yet but as the tank will be a bit instable with regards to tempritue be such low volume was just thinking some bright mushrooms to start

When i used to come on here while back their was a couple who used it. And a couple more that tried it. Remember them saying as soon as they used it. The polyps extended open more then before. Sure its down to all micro organisms (coral food) in the water.

You can find best places nr you to collect from. Google good beach guide..if i recall correctly.
