Poll:Salt? Fresh? Both? What do you keep?

rckmtl · 05-18-2005, 05:56 AM

Ok, cuz I am both bored and curious, here is a poll. Feel free to explain your vote in a post or discuss the topic.

I've got both and probably always will. There is just so much diversity in both types that it is hard to limit my hobby to just one.
Plus, on those days when I am too broke for a coral, I can always afford a new plant!

I voted for salt only/don't have the room for more than one tank.
I would like to have a discus tank some day but, right now we barely have room for our 46g.

Jiddy · 05-18-2005, 07:19 AM

Have a 55g FW (neons & rainbows) setup, a 90g empty in the garage, and a 220g at some guys house who tells me he will sell it to me, but its been 2 LoooNNNnnnnGGGggg weeks.

KimPossible · 05-18-2005, 07:46 AM

I have a 55 gal salt and I help my 6 yr. old with her 15 gal fw. She houses 2 guppy's (i thought they'd be learning fish, but she's keeping these suckers alive) and a kuli loach. We are going out this weekend to get some fw plant. I will be getting a larger sw aquarium sooner than expected thanks to sharkbait

I'm gonna let it set in the garage for just a bit while i finish off my 55 gal. projects. I just want to be able to look at it

Jiddy · 05-18-2005, 08:41 AM

Thats the new trend nowdays Kim, buy tanks and leave them in the garage, its really big in the Northern States!

Witfull · 05-18-2005, 11:16 AM

corvettephreek · 05-18-2005, 01:46 PM

Cool hex Forestal! I like the aquascaping.

forestal · 05-19-2005, 09:44 AM

thanks...it came out nice, but my daughter did it so she gets the credit

Frankie · 05-21-2005, 10:08 AM

I have a 120gal. reef with a 75gal. refugium. And like kimpossible I help my 6 year old with her 10gal. fresh water.

jimeluiz · 05-21-2005, 02:36 PM

Reef only. Our space is super tight. If I had more space I would probably first set up a quaranteen tank, as it would have come in handy a few times these past two years.

We like to take long vacations and our setup is complicated enough as it is. Another full-on tank does not seem wise. The learning curve for tank-sitters is steep enough as it is.

Woodstock · 05-24-2005, 03:32 PM

..does a betta bowl count as a fresh water tank??

rckmtl · 05-24-2005, 05:00 PM

Sure! A tank's a tank!

Hey Doni. your betta pm'ed me. For christmas he wants an eclipse6

Seen those new hanging betta bowls? I was thinking it would be funny if someone got like 30 of them and used them for front walkway lights. course it wouldn't work long term, just be like a one day thing.
