hello all, found this group, only been on here a few times. and decided to join. it reminded me of the forums i used to spend a lot of time in before FB came along and turned most forums into ghosttowns. aquaria central, planted tank, simply discus come to mind. i found those to be superior in members and organizing info. but social media seemed to take over.i've always done fresh, finally trying salt.
