You know, I have always thought I wonder if you could......take your inground pool, and make it a big saltwater tank?
I was in Maui, Hawaii about 1.5 weeks ago, and at one of the hotels, they had a huge saltwater pond winding around a outdoor restaurant. At first I thought, it would have Koi in it, and then I was amazed to see it was FULL of Yellow tangs and several different types of Surgeonfishes. Now, they have cooler temps in hawaii, and the water tends to be about 76 on a warm day over the reef, but, how would they have kept it form getting warm in the sun? I have photos of it (if anyone is curious), and it was very shallow, deepest part perhaps was 2 feet deep, it was very large, had several waterfalls in it, and the bottom was painted a very dark color....almost black.
My only assumption is that they continuoisly pump fresh seawater in from the beach. What do you guys think?
I was just curious about this type of set up. I was thinking about trying to set something up outdoors, but didnt know if anyone had heard of it.
We are actually switching our inground pool to a saltwater pool, it is much easier to handle care for, and is better for a person then chlorine water. I dont think the saltwater though is a high enough salinity....its more like saline solution.
