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.

I have to somewhat agree with the black tang comment, I fell in love SW fish because of how colourful most of them are, and I too used to think it defeated the purpose to have white or black SW fish.

It's funny how as time goes on your outlook changes. Just a few days ago I was preaching about how I only wanted really colourful fish for my new tank. However this angelfish changed my mind

For a fish that is called "Black velvet" I think he's quite stunning.

Black Velvet in that little boys smile, black velvet in that slow southern style"

Ahem

I think if it's a biotype tank, there are some "decent" silk plants that could work as a sort of temporary thing for sea grass etc. maybe in a seahorse tank?

Does that make any sense?
