Decisions, decisions
I am no expert on salt water but there was a time when I looked into it.From what experts have told me when I did was this. That with salt and the kind of fish you want to have start at 90gal or above. Unless you want to do a small reef tank with clowns or something similar. The difference as far as I can see is that you need a protein skimmer,hydrometer(to measure salinity,inexpensive) When you do water changes you have to mix instant ocean or a like product.(this is a continued cost,Each water change will cost you) The marine fish cost 3 times or more that of fresh. Bottom line is there is not so much of a difference aside from price and the option of being able to stock inverts and live rock and everything else that will live in salt and not fresh. If I had the money to put to it I would love to have a large marine tank. The reason I say large is because space becomes more of an issue with the fish and chemistry stability then freshwater (unless you do a small nano reef tank which usually consists of a clown or two.(nemo) > > Hi, I live in Tx. but was raised in In.
