I had to prove to the boss that I was capable of caring for a freshwater tank before I was "allowed" to get into salt.

I still those fish with me today five years later! [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

The only thing is my tapwater in Calgary is WAY better for the reef (or African cichlids) than it is for a planted freshwater tank. I actually do more to maintain a clean tank on my freshwater tank than I do on my other three reef tanks combined. The reefs are somewhat self regulating. The planted freshwater ... needs a fair bit of intervention on my part.

One day ... an RODI unit, methinks. But I'd probably stick with my tapwater for the reefs! (Unless I moved to someplace with different water...)

How many people have a sump on their freshwater tank? My planted freshwater is a 33g and I don't have a sump but I was thinking of adding one when I take down my 50g reef because I'll have a spare O/F box then. (I'm totally sold on sumps nowadays!) [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]
