Not to mention since Dave builds tanks for both fresh and salt not carrying freshwater stock and supplies in the store front is throwing away over 90% of the market.

yap hate to say it but fresh water is such a large part of the market it just made sense too also service that part of the industry. It going to have a big learning curve for us but my hope with the way we set up the system with a drip system it won't be too bad

Seems like freshwater is so much more cost effective.
from import, to distribution to retail.

I wish I had the conviction to learn a whole new husbandry because planted freshwater tanks look amazing these days.

That's why I run both! If you can't decide or choose, but I started in planted freshwater and then put in a saltwater when we developed our basement.
