I couldn't either, until...
We have an unusually sophisticated LFS in downtown San Francisco. It's a
little hole-in-the-wall like you would expect in a back alley in Hong Kong.
Floor to ceiling and wall to wall, heavily-planted tanks with amazing
rainbows, blue-eyes, gudgeons and other "neat" stuff (discus, unusual
tetras, etc.). Justin, at Ocean Aquarium, has adapted cyanos to the local SF
dead-soft water, and they look absolutely gorgeous! At its worst the tds may
get up to 50 ppm, but it usually is less.
We live and learn.
