The bigger the tank, the easier the maintenance. It depends on what kind of fish you have, and how many of those fish recycle. Lots of fish live on other fish's byproducts. So you get a natural vacuum cleaning service. It's best to do a water change every 2 weeks or so, but that only takes 30 minutes maybe.
You need to feed once/twice daily. You can get autofeeders.
Freshwater requires much less maintenance. It varies a lot by setup.
