Personally (The Saltwater guys will hate this) I go with fresh over salt due to a few factors:
Cost of fish and supplies,
Slave to the Tank syndrome, Salt, you have to watch you water parameters more closely,
Lastly, (and this is the part that may srike up a controversy, but I don't care anymore, I'l say what I bloody well please)
SW fish keeping removes fish and inverts from our reefs, which are rapidly declining in all parts of the world. Although some strides have been made in captive breeding, most are still harvested from the ocean, and more die in transit to the stores than actually make it to home tanks. I personally feel this is irresponsible.
Almost all FW fish are bred in captivity, and have healthy wild populations still existing. The same CANNOT be said for SW, no matter how folks care to spin it.
boy I'm gonna be in trouble when some folks read this!!!
