I understand the "Low maintence" desire, as well as some curiosity, but isn't this just a unmaintained salt water aquarium? We all know how its going to end up.

I understand the "Low maintence" desire, as well as some curiosity, but isn't this just a unmaintained salt water aquarium? We all know how its going to end up.. Salt water aquariums are difficult to maintain but can be very rewarding and learning experience (Nitrate, nitrite, phosphates maintence etc...)

> We all know how its going to end up.. Uh, might be just me, but I have no idea how this ends up. I would expect dead very soon, but this has been going for over a year now, so clearly I didn't even get that right.

The difference between this and an unmaintained salt water aquarium is that the aquarium isn't a closed system. Whatever gases are created by the life in the aquarium being mixed with fresh air and eventually diffusing into the surrounding environment. I'm no expert on the subject but I would imaging this makes a huge difference compared to a completely closed system.
