I recently started a small saltwater tank to see if it was worth the hassle, so far it's not that much of a hassle and it's pretty cool.

Had a saltwater tank for about 3 years. Very expensive, and yes, a top notch filter is an absolute must. A lot of work, very expensive, and at times, very stressful. People would stop by and say "Oh, you have a saltwater tank; that must be so relaxing". Yeah, right.
Whenever I see underwater scenes in tropical waters on TV I can almost without exception say "Yep...killed one of those". The ONLY way I would have another salt water tank is if I could afford someone else to maintain it...which if you can swing, I highly reccommend. |

Saltwater is considerably more difficult and much more expensive to maintain than a freshwater tank.
I have a 60gal. freshwater tank. I much prefer freshwater. Some saltwater fish look super cool, but I'm pretty content with my freshwater setup.

I'm a freshwater gal, but I purchase all of my supplies online from bigalsonline.com. Their prices are better than the chain stores, plus they have free s&h when you purchase over $75 worth of goods. If you want to order your stock/corals, liveaquaria.com would be the way to go. They have some beautiful, rare fish. Shipping can be a bit much though.

gotta go small first on saltwater. practice. obviously you can see the expense.
of course saltwater fish/critters can have a fantastic "look". but there's a lot of fresh water that can have an exotic look too. if you're loaded and can afford trial an error, go for it. good luck. and make sure you post pics and stuff man. good luck! |

When people say "expensive" to have a salt tank, could you elaborate on the dollars(range) and what costs so much?

Saltwater tanks are the biggest pain in the ass.
Sure, the fish look cool.....when they're alive. An owner of a hotel I worked at decided to put an aquarium flush in the wall in the lobby. He and I took care if it. JFC....I would never own one of those things. Keeping the PH balance right is a hige pain in the ass....and even if you do that right, they still die. IIRC, we've killed Tangs, Angel Fish, Puffer fish (at least 2 of those i think). There were a lot more that I can't remember right now. We had a good sized Lionfish too. He was hardy and all, but he made it no fun trying to clean the tank.
