What Is Better Plastic Or Real Plants In A Saltwater Tank?

Question

Yea i have a 30 gallon tank and im thinking of putting some plastic or real plants.........what are the pros and con of having either one of these two types off plants......what will i have to deal with in the future of putin one of these type of plants

Answer 1

real plants are way better than plastic ones but plastic one won't harm ur fish. but the real ones might need some good care just like fishes. and the reason why they are better is fish sometimes nibble on those and it's healthy for'em. and it will make them feel like at natural home.

Answer 2

fake plants if you dont want to do any maintenance....real plants are better though. You create a more natural environment that way.

Answer 3

plastic is better it will last long and you won't have take take care of it. you should save the caring for the fishes

Answer 4

Real plants will require much more light than fake. So you have to decide if you want the added expense of the extra lighting. Also, strong lighting will create more heat that you will have to deal with (ex. adding extra fans to dissipate). There are alot of good looking replica plants for saltwater available now. I would recommend these.
