Saltwater or Freshwater

[RayAllen]

It seems people either forget or just dont know about Brakish water. They are some of the most diverse and interesting water on the planet. Ive been in the Aquarium hobby now for about 10years not counting the aquariums I had as a child. Everytime I think I want a freshwater tank I set it up and it becaomes boring very quickly. What you are thinking about is very unique but so you know those mini turtles aka Red Ear sliders grow failry quickly and are messy. If I was to set up another tank that was non saltwater Id go brakish water (Places on the earth where saltwater and freshwater meet, usually swamps, mangroves and river mouths) and do a mangrove swamp tank with brakish puffers, archers, knife fish etc....... Makes for a very interesting tank and is more chanllenging than fresh water which would personally keep me interested.
