Aquarium Advice Newbie
I'm completely new to aquariums, and I've always loved to watch my friend's saltwater tank. I've recently decided to take the plunge, but now I'm torn between SW and FW.
It's not really the expense that really worries me (but it does, too! ), but the upkeep/maintenance. I have a somewhat busy schedule and I'm worried that I can't provide a good home for SW fish/inverts. On the other hand, FW (from what I understand) has a less intensive maintenance requirement. So, here's a question to the more experienced aquarists - how does SW maintenance compare to FW?
Additionally, if I decide to go FW, are there active/colourful fish available for a ~32gal FW set up?
Thanks all.
