I actually put that pond in for less then 200 dollars as I saved materials from peoples landscaping and used an old self standing pool as the linerBased dude. The lass above is with pretty boy for the money, but thinking of the real man below.

if you are looking for a one stop shop look at changing tides Findlay Ohio they have it allwould be nice to have a one stop shop, lol. I keep dart frogs, too, and those forums are ghosted most of the time, too.
Because a lot of the SW only people were salty(pun intended lol) and complained like kids. We took a large poll(about 300 people) on it and it came out 50/50. But the complaints of those mentioned above stopped it. Sad thing too since it would open the hobby to more people and get more people into SW and potentially drop the prices since more people will be in the hobby since the need to mass produce will go up and it wouldnt be so niche.If there are so many reefers here who also have freshwater tanks, why don't the mods just create a separate freshwater forum on this site? problem solved.
I’m in Ohio and we have averaged 3 years running temps lower then Alaska. Use a deicer and shut all of your pumps and filters off in the winter. It will create a small warmer pool below the water. As long as they don’t turn into a block of ice you would be amazed how fast they come out of it in the spring. The first warm day they are right out feeding.Love the Gar, colour me jealous. I have a 1000 gallon pond, but it gets too cold up here to keep one. I'm stuck with Koi and Goldfish unless I feel like hauling all the livestock inside for the 6 months it's frozen over.
That is a beautiful tank! I'd love to have a go at a shrimp tank as I would probably get away with adding another small nano cube if I buy my wife some chocolates, but i'd also add catfish.
LOL yes, I have come across the competitive divisions of elitism within this hobby (always after a bigger and bigger tank, compensating for something maybe?) Fortunately its a small minority of hobbyists...they'd be the ones stuck in the kitchen at a house party. You've just got to laugh.Because a lot of the SW only people were salty(pun intended lol) and complained like kids. We took a large poll(about 300 people) on it and it came out 50/50.

Thank you! A box of chocolates for a nano cube shrimp tank would be a good trade imo.That is a beautiful tank! I'd love to have a go at a shrimp tank as I would probably get away with adding another small nano cube if I buy my wife some chocolates, but i'd also add catfish.
I assume you let the plants establish and grow with CO2 for a while first, what substrate did you use and at what point did you introduce shrimp?

But the vast majority of hobbyists, in my experience, have a wide love for nature whether it be freshwater or salt, and more often than not have many other pets too. I started off very young with cold water, then went to freshwater tropical. As my family is Scottish I was taken to the western highlands at least once a year where there are amazing sand and rockpool beaches, so I got my interest from there also. And being British inevitably I watched a lot of Attenborough on BBC tv, so I have kept insects, amphibians and reptiles as well as always having family dogs. All nature is fascinating, no sense in just restricting yourself to one type.
I didn't realise Attenborough was that well known in the states. My wife has a lifelong passion for birds so Life of Birds is her favourite. For me as entomology is one of my main interests, Life in the Undergrowth Attenborough series is special.I still can spend hours watching Attenborough nature documentaries. Consumed all of his planet earth series, our planet on Netflix, Blue planet, Africa. Plus the musical score on Planet Earth 2 ... where’s my popcorn? K, enough nerd talk.
My husband and I have both. Mine is a 15g saltwater with seahorse, my husband has 180g,40g and I think 10g freshwater tankJust kind of wondering what sort of overlap there is from the saltwater and freshwater aquarium worlds? Like, who keeps tanks of both, anyone started with one or moved to the other?
Me, I started by looking after the salmon fry my workplace raises every year, onto buying a house with a fishless pond that I stocked, making the jump straight into saltwater aquariums. Though I have often contemplated setting up a freshwater tank for a couple of green terrors.
