Does my aquarium have to be a salt-water environment?

Ocean Treasures Collection

If you desire to maintain a fresh-water aquarium, you must incorporate fresh water fish and simply do not add the pre-measured synthetic salt or “live” sand, if purchased. You will need to purchase an approved gravel from your local aquarium dealer since the “live” sand is salt based and cultured from the ocean.

How does water reach my home?

The Hydrology of Drought - USGS Water Resources of Maryland,...
All of the water that we use in our homes comes from either a ground-water source, such as a well, or from a surface-water source, such a river, lake, or reservoir. Precipitation falls on the Earth's surface and eventually adds water (recharge) into an aquifer. This water may be pumped into your home from a well that taps into the aquifer. If your water source is a reservoir, precipitation and other surface water collects in the reservoir. This water is piped to homes from a public supplier.
