It's a fairly old idea...they used to have a system where you added SUGAR to get it up to the right SG, and SW and FW fish can live together. Called "Magic Aquarium" or something. Such a bad idea!

Mine has been cooking for TWO YEARS and there's still stuff living on it. Temps have dropped as low as 50F on some occasions. Not optimum, but life is what happens when you're making other plans.
