Tank Preference

[ElGuappo]

What type of tank are you most fond of. vote for more than one if it applies.

Glad to see "reef" is winning out and not something like FOWLR. CanReef is so much easier to remember than CanFOWLR or CanNormalFW would be.

I think most people prefer the reef because there are so many different kinds of creatures you can add to it. Of course this makes it really challenging, too, as the creatures tend to eat each other from time to time...

I have a hard time understanding why someone would prefer "Normal FW (plastic plants, Castles)"

I realize many have these but do they honestly prefer them?

i think people enjoy FW because its fun, there are some very neat breeding habits, and SW is just generaly too hard and too expensive for some people

Freshwater planted tanks are often more difficult to care for than reefs. Many people who have kept both would agree. Reefs have a lot more guidelines than planted tanks do. I can completely ignore my reef other than top offs and feeding for 3 months, and everything will be fine. Do that to a planted tank? BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I prefer a reef with minimal fish. Mainly softies and some lps which I keep to certain kinds due to their aggressiveness.

I LOVE Brain corals. But unfortunately I haven't found he right one yet.
