I'm thinking of a few changes......

I'm sitting here, looking at all my tanks surrounding me and i still want more. It drives me crazy, and the trip to the aquarium didn't help any, lol. I currently have 3 tanks running, 220 ca/sa, 30salt, 20gal P growout, also I have an empty 75 and 5gal.

I've been getting more and more into marine and I kinda want to make all but one of my tanks salt. So heres the question. Which tank should stay fresh? This is just to give me a hand in deciding. If I choose to make the 220 into marine, I'll have to buy another big tank, lol. So maybe I'll just buy another 220? See my problem, lol, I don't know what to do.

Resist, stay with fresh..saltwater is a bottomless pit of money and time lol. I used to run three marine tanks and I'm so much happier with all freshwater (much as I miss my stone/scorpionfish).

Or, go crazy and have a monster marine 220!

That helped this much =======> 0 lol. I've always wanted a deadly and dangerous marine tank, 220 would be killer.

They're cool, don't get me wrong, just make sure you take into account the cost and time need to run that many marine tanks. I used to go through a 200 gal bucket of salt almost every month. Maintenance takes way longer too, with salt mixing and all the chemistry.

Most MFK'ers here keep FW of course, I would think most will say don't use the 220 for salt by any means. lol I am one of these people.

 

[RedDevilDon2005]

Well my 30gal isn't that bad at all honestly. But initial start up of the 220 would be a little pricey, i would just have to do it step by step over a few weeks.

I know this, lol. Thats why theres a Buy another vote up there, lol.

I like the idea of a salt 220...just don't do it half-assed, which for some reason seems to be the way "monster-fish" FW people do marine...

i say you stick with mainly fresh but also get some more salt, not to far into fresh not to far into salt, right in the middle
