Freshwater vs saltwater: what our panel actually agreed on
By Wren Alvarez · Apr 20, 2026 · 1 min read
We expected a rivalry; we got a love-in. Both panels agreed on more than they disagreed: stability beats gadgets, water changes beat additives, and the best tank is the one you’ll actually maintain.
The saltwater camp made their case with a rock-solid frag display; the freshwater camp countered with a carpet of Monte Carlo that drew audible gasps.
We’ll call it a draw, until the rematch.
