Sure.. check the links in my sig.
I wanted it to be a schooling community tank and it was at one time. But keeping disease under control was difficult when you're talking about a thousand or so small schooling fish. So its been slowing transitioning to a cichlid and oddball tank as I let the smaller fish die off and I don't replace them. Right now I have a couple foot long Pearsei's that get along with fish as small as an inch.. and some 8in chocolates.
But its pinnacle was the original concept.. seeing many different types of schooling fish zoom around in little balls of life was really cool.
This is why I run with salt. I keep a higher salinity during the summer to offset the high water temps.

Are you talking about saltwater or freshwater tanks? Big difference in this particular case!
I've never heard of recycling salt from a salt water tank, so I'm skeptical it can be done. And the salt used in saltwater tanks is of course much more expensive than pool salt because they aren't really the same. Pool salt is not a suitable substitute for salt water species.
