Once you get a good handle on it, let me know the breakdown of work and costs. We had goldfish for a few years.

Poor critters. You'll be better prepared next time! |
Saltwater tanks are def an expensive hobby! All my hobbies are kind of expensive, but at least I was able to sell my items and make money off them. This one, no. You put in a lot of money. And of course there is the time when the power goes out or something and you come home to find a tank full of dead critters.
So far what we have spent: $300 for the tank, about $100 for testing supplies and chemicals, $40 for live rock and live sand, $40 last night for the critters. We have one of the smallest tanks on the market. Not the same as fresh water fish. My dad had a saltwater tank when we were growing up, and I just remember so many fish were dying. He switched to freshwater many years ago and hasn't had as many problems. However, freshwater fish aren't so colorful and cute to look at.
