    Yeah.
    Just a tip for you hobbyists in Washington and Colorado -- aquarium water is great for watering "house plants."

    Well, it works anywhere, but I am sure there are some folks starting up a new indoor gardening hobby in those states. :rasta:

    I've seen a few setups like this, some even use fish to eat when they get big enough.

    Our 250 gallon salt water aquarium. There are no fish in this picture becouse we had just finished doing a complete tear down and cleaning of the system. The entire system is plumbed to outside where we have the filtration house, so it makes for a very clean and semi silent system.

    not true, I can point you to freshwater species that are much harder to keep alive than most saltwater aquarium fish, and ones that cost just as much.

    Awesome! I've got a 55 gallon with a tiger Oscar, two jack dempseys, terror cichlids, and a yellow and orange African cichlid.

    Oh and a sucker fish. Wish I could figure out to post a pic from my iPhone.
