  • Planted tank vs. SW coral tank

    I was thinking about taking a break from saltwater. Is it more work on planted vs. SW coral tank? I have all the equipment for a planted tank. A friend of mine said it was more work than saltwater tank. I want it to be full blown planted tank with Discus and cardinal.

    SW is a walk in the park in comparison from my experience...

      i have never had SW but a planted discus tank is probably one of the most challenging FW setups

        Planted tanks are more fun! Plants grow faster than coral so you can change it up more often.
