I've only been in the fish hobby for about 6 months. Freshwater only. I love marine fish. But I have a few questions.
Can I have a marine tank and run it just like a fresh water tank? Same filters that kind of thing?
Do I need live rock and live sand? I know they are for biofiltration. Or could I do just live rock and another substrate?
Is upkeep expensive? Do I need a lot of additives and that sort of thing?
I'm asking these questions because I don't have a lot of money and freshwater is pretty cheap as far as upkeep.
Thank you in advance for your help!
