Should I break down my FW and turn it SW?

[fawkes027]

Should I?

have you ever put a copper based cure in the fresh water tank if so get another tank or do a fish only SW tank corals and inverts do do well with copper.

 

[fawkes027]

No copper ever in the FW tank.

 

[Fat Guy]

depends what you have in your freshwater tanks. I'd have trouble parting wth my plants.

 

[TheUltimateNoob]

of course. gotta go with salt.

 

[Armando]

[fawkes027]

im looking to convert my fresh water (90 tall from glass cages) to a fowlr. I think it would look good since its a tall tank

 

[fawkes027]

Yeah getting more tanks really isn't an easy option. I'm limited on space. LOL

 

[Armando]

fawkes i don't know how to say this... but 20G is TOO SMALL for a saltwater tank.

well I guess I do know how to say this

Definitly go with more tanks. Esp, if it is a freshwater planted tank or if it has puffers.

Sherry - the proud owner of 5 freshwater planted tanks, 1 brackish water puffer tank, and 3 reef tanks.

My first saltwater was a 20 high - it is doable as long as you keep up on your water changes and water top off. I ran it successfully for two years before I moved up here and upgraded in size.

 

[fawkes027]

Armando I started with a 20. LOL.

 

[Armando]

i started with a 29

Sometime it depend on who is the one that want another tank.

If it is the wife who want more tanks, she will get it.
If it is the other way around, the situation will not be very promising.

I am down to two fish tanks now, one salt, one flesh and still no sump.

I have a 20 gal in my office doing well...no skimmer, soft corals, sun lit.
You can do it with 20.
