Anyway, had 2 salt water tanks. Can't imagine the draw of freshwater. Saltwater was amazing while listening to PF and tripping many moons ago. Fresh wlda just made me depressed.

I had my own freshwater tanks when I was growing up. Looking back at what I know now, the way I did things was fish abuse. I didn't know any better - this was before YouTube and all of that. For example I didn't let my tank cycle, would add the water and fish right away, instead of doing water changes I would simply empty the entire tank out and scrub it clean and refill it with 100% new water then put the fish back in every couple of months. I still have no idea how I had some fish live for multiple years.

It wasn't until I had freshwater tanks in my college dorm rooms where I really started to progress in the hobby and do things right. But like most people do I graduated from freshwater to saltwater when I was living in Iowa. The only thing I miss from freshwater are the plecos and cory cats but thats what a cleanup crew is for.
