All natural ingredients!

Hi everyone, and as the title suggests, has/does anyone experiment with using natural stuff in their reef tanks? Natural sea water, sand, algae....ect. Of course using some common sense in collecting away from pollution sources, and not taking corals off a reef, but the run of the mill maintanence stuff. I've seen where some use nsw, but was curious as to how they adjust their sg or if just over time they've adjusted their tanks to the nsw salinity? Their are those here who live in 'tropical paradises' as well as those who live in more temperate regions where the shopping lists will vary greatly of course. I use natural sand in my tank, use 'sea-weed' as a treat for my herbivores, but was curious with the adventures of others in the hobby.

Enjoy our hobby,
