fake plastic plants in saltwater.

I'd say personal preference. Why do some people keep FOWLR tanks? Why do some people keep reef?

i remember there was a restaurant that open up by where i lived. picture my horror when i was told this place also had a SW set up. i imagined at least something that wasn't a complete eye sore since it was a restaurant. but instead i came to find a mish-mash of colored FW gravel, plastic FW plants all over the place, with HUGE chunks of drift wood,and a few pieces of the deadest LR iv seen here and there. and to top it all off the tank was a 300G acrylic tank that was so scratched it made it hard to see through. it was hard to even see the fish at the opposite end of the tank.

not trying to upset anyone just that plastic plants dont give a saltwater tank a oceanic look reminds me when i had gold fish.?did you ever see (tank of the month) have plastic decor. dont think so dan

It's a way to start into sw. I cycled my tank from fw to brack to salt with my ol' green spotted puffer. Stayed that way until I sold the puffer and researched more about marine environement and reef tank.

Personal preference. I dont think I would put fake plants in my saltwater tank, but if thats what you like, then go for it. I also dont understand why people would pay $500 for a black tang, but they do. For me the draw to saltwater was the colorful fish and to put a black fish in the tank kinda defeats the purpose. But thats just my interpretation of what is appealing.
