People always ask about a local pond or fw but never seen sw asked so...
Anyone ever tried keeping a local sw setup. We somewhat did it a few yrs ago in a 55. we kept minnows used for fishing so we wouldnt have to keep buying so much when we went out. Filtration was a UGF so all it had was air stones. Water was from where we fish, so it was easy to fill when needed.
This just popped back into my head as my dad came home with a croaker and trout in the live well cause he wanted to see if it would keep them alive (I think the cold day got to him)...
I figured if I was to do it it would have to be almost a species tank or a careful mix. 1 cool thing would be to grow a redfish or trout. Its just so hard since everything grows so huge.
