Freshwater or (the predominant nontechnical spelling) fresh water is naturally occurring water on the Earth's surface in bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams. Freshwater is characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids. The term specifically excludes seawater and brackish water.

Systems

Scientifically, freshwater habitats are divided into lentic systems, which are the stillwaters including ponds, lakes, swamps and mires; lotic systems, which are running water; and groundwater which flows in rocks and aquifers. There is, in addition, a zone which bridges between groundwater and lotic systems, which is the hyporheic zone, which underlies many larger rivers and can contain substantially more water than is seen in the open channel. It may also be in direct contact with the underlying underground water

A. You ask a good question, and given the answers, most of your audience would die. before you can do anything like make water and so forth, you have to look at what you have to work with. most islands that are deserted is because there is no water there in the first place, so keep that in mind (no drinking water). the Polynesians used to dig holes in the rocks along cliffs, and create basins for collecting rain water, so that they could fill up their water bags when they passed by. That would be your first order of business, look and see if those exist. Also, in your answers people talk about putting leaves down to draw the water out and so forth, forget that. Leaves have a waxy film over the top to prevent loss of moisture. The… [cont.]

What equipment do I all need to convert a freshwater tank to a saltwater tank?
Q. We've decided to swap all of our tanks and want to convert our 75 gallon freshwater into a saltwater. We will be using all of the accessories for the 75 gal (filter/heater etc.) when we convert the 55 gallon turtle tank back to a freshwater... what do we need to buy for the supplies for a good saltwater set up...? Special filters? Special lights (we want to have coral and/or live rock) heater? Stuff like that!

A. Not to stray you away from saltwater tanks, but it is best to get accurate advice as well as at home help with a reliable source. Saltwater tanks are more complicated as well require more managablility than freshwater tanks. Unlike freshwater tanks when you can stick everything together, in saltwater you would need to measure saltilinity, cyclying is diffrent, etc. Alot of time and more money is spent in saltwater tanks. But the end effort, would be worth it.
