Nice ya just got to love the colors of saltwater fish over freshwater fish. Actually I think salt is eaiser to keep than fresh after the inital setup and cycle period. Shane what size tank are you using?

Shad:
I have 2 tanks. This particular tank is a 37Gallon. It will be mostly fish.
The other tank I have is a 50 Gallon Reef only tank. I just got this tank1 week ago so there is only rock and a few fish to cycle it.
And to everyone reading this Saltwater is not at all hard if you do your research. A reef only tank is complicated because of the light requirements and the fact that Coral are real sensitive to bad water.
A fish only tank with a few pieces of coral on the other hand is not complicated at all. The hardiest part is being patient for the first month or 2 while it cycles. Once it is cycled the only thing you really have to do is a monthly water change (20% of the water) and a filter change. Everything else is done automatically if you have the proper setup. Cleanup crew critters make this so easy.
Anyway most people that fail with saltwater tanks fail because of bad knowledge that was given to then from the shop they bought at (sounds just like the reptile business). Alot of these stores tell people they can have a tank setup in a few days with fish and everything. This is pretty much impossible

Oh one last thing.
A fish only setup with a few low light corals is not to expensive. Lighting for a tank like this is cheap. Lighting for a reef tank is usually 2/3rds of the final cost. The light setup for my reef tank is gunna cost me over $300!
