Default Poll: What type(s) of aquariums do you have?

I just wanted to know what most of the members of this forum have. So far I only have freshwater aquariums.

I only have fresh for now. I keep thinking I might like to try a salt water tank some day though.

For all you freshies that want saltwater, it really isn't too hard if you are responsible. Especially if you are keeping planted tanks and are used to testing water, regular water changes, and the lot, it isn't that much different. So don't be afraid to try. People make it seem a lot harder than it actually is.

Fresh, I got an idea for a salt water pond but I am in northeastern illinois and I am not quite sure what the winters would do to it.

Default Re: Poll: What type(s) of aquariums do you have?

My main reason right now for only having freshwater is the cost. I would have to go buy more equipment and the fish IMO are very beautiful, and expensive.

Depends on the fish. There are some freshwater fish that are just as expensive. Clownfish for example are only $20. That is expensive compared to your common platy, but compared to discus, cichlids, etc. it isn't that bad. Its usually when you get into special breeds or rare fish when the prices go through the roof.

The results of this poll are going as I expected.

One of the reasons I did this was to see if perhaps we needed to split the newly restarted "Tank of the month" thread into FW/SW. By the results of this poll so far I would venture to say that it is not necessary.

Rob72, working on keeping the $1 fish alive is a good goal before you move on to more expensive things. :D

It totally makes sense that you would want to be more permanent before setting up a SW. It is a lot of work to move one. it is a lot of weight.
