    i have a 10 gal saltwater tank that i have just sitting around. i doenst have anything in it besides sand and saltwater. i already have a 29 gallon saltwater tank. i kinda want to make it into a freshwater tank. i know saltwater would be cooler but i just kinda wanted something different. you know variety. so what do you think. i have gravel for the 10 gal if i wish to change my mind... which i might.

    I say freshwater planted only because with a 10 gallon fowlr you cant have that much fish at all, let alone the exotic fish that people get to enjoy with a fowlr...

    Since I upgraded to a larger saltwater tank I am turning my smaller tank back into a freshwater tank. I enjoy having both.;D
