Let's have some fun with the SW people and start this thread on why is fresh water better than salt water

. Lets try 5 words or less.
heres mine.

Better selection of fish

Aquattro · #2 11-26-2004, 04:02 AM

not sure if the selection is better, just bigger. I'd take 5 tangs over 40 tetras any day.

But my reason would be that FW tastes a lot better than SW.

Is that your new method of water testing Brad?

Aquattro · #4 11-26-2004, 04:07 AM

nothing new about it, been using it for years. My doctor said something about ionic imbalance though, said I should switch to something called test kits.

Oh, and FW isn't as heavy as SW, for those of us that haul buckets!!

Steve, you need some FW turbos to get rid of that huge algae problem!!

Richer · #10 11-26-2004, 05:13 AM

Much cheaper equipment and (uh... um.....) stuff.

FYI, aquariums like what Steve posted up aren't hard to achieve. I had a planted tank simliar (though not as pretty) running for awhile with 4x55watt pcs and a DIY co2 injection system with just a couple of fluval 404s for filtration. The pcs have since faded a bit since I started the tank, and I've taken my co2 injection offline. But important part was, no algae
