Have you been bitten by the Saltwater Bug?

Eventually I think SW gets the best of us.... Or does it?

I have both types of tanks. I started out in freshwater in 96 and went to saltwater in jan of 01. Then i got a feshwater tank again last year.

Right now I have FW, but I do eventually want salt water. My goal is to have MTS!! Yeah baby!

The only thing that might distract me from my pond is that I might set up a 30 gal for my plecos over the winter. Salt is too expensive, and I don't like the idea of harvesting fish and rocks from the ocean.

I forgot all about ponds! DARN!

I started SW, and was bitten by the FW bug, several years later, but the itch for FW faded quickly. If it weren't for big aggressive cichlids, I wouldn't have a FW tanks set up. FWIW, my wife prefers FW Biotope aquariums.

Moved to The Lounge so as to not get overshadowed by the current photo contest polls.

I didn't vote in the poll.

The salty side of things is Mighty Tempting, but I choose not too, for a variety of reasons. I have had salt in the past (waaaay back).

I won't rule it out in the future, but for now my hands are full with my tanks and ponds, and my wallet is empty!

I guess I approached things a little backwards -- started with my first FO SW tank in 1990, and my first reef in 1991 - have been keeping reef tanks ever since. But ... I've never owned a single FW fish in my life, not even a goldfish as a kid. I look at pics of the gorgeous planted FW tanks, and drool - I think they're beautiful. Our current reef tank is all I can handle for now. :?
