I told the man that if he still wanted to do it I would not refuse his business and would sell him what he needs to make it salty. He spent $175 that day then came back after cycling with damsels and bought a clownfish.....Then another, And another.....They kept dying. Finally, after 8-10 weeks he came in and admitted defeat. He started pricing a real aquarium and at last check he is considering a 72 bowfront. I hope he lets me help with that one. It will be fun and easy to setup a nice saltwater tank in a 72 bow.
