Greetings! Yes, you read the above right, the topic is converting FROM a saltwater TO FRESHWATER... hubby and I are buying a new tank that is predrilled reef ready with the sump underneath, and our bro-in-law, who has freshwater fish (cichlids, I think) wants to buy our tank from us as it is larger than the one he has (ours is 90 gallons). Our old tank is not predrilled, has hang on filters, "standard" lights, etc... perfect for freshwater fish not in need of a more advanced system.
the lfs, which both bro-in-law and we shop at has told him that once you have a saltwater tank you can NEVER convert it to freshwater, because you can never wash the salt completely out of the glass.
I'm thinking there has to be something out there that will remove all traces of salt, and that lfs is just trying to sell my bro in law a new tank and make a buck.
Who is right? Can you convert or no?
