Is there a diffrence in saltwater aquarium and freshwater aquariums talking about the tank.

Yes, the saltwater tank has saltwater in it Aside from that no. Usually saltwater tanks have pre-drilled drains (aka are reef ready) so that a sump can be utilized.

no i mean the tank design

 

[Mike fail]

technically no but many tanks are sold as "reef ready" which are pre drilled over flows for sumps but thats about it

try and get a slightly thicker tank. weight of saltwater is greater than fresh. eg. a used freshwater that's on the thin side, risky to reuse for salt.

Modern Taylor-made Marine systems have bespoke additions inbuilt at the factory. EG, Plenums, Reef shelving, drilled bases to create under-reef water flows etc. They are infinitely more complex than the basic Fresh-water models.

I fail to see any differnce in whether a tank is only FW or SW....If someone can "show" me documentation to disproove this, then by my guest and post it...

A tank is a tank is a tank....glass and sylicon...
