Hey everyone new to the site and have an empty 55gallon aquarium i want to put to use again. I have the stand and aquarium but would need the rest of supplies and test kits again. Anyways, it was previously a freshwater tank long ago and i was thinking of doing a saltwater tank this time. However it will probably be another month before I even start it as I'm very analytical and will have to convince myself I'm ready to start again through ridiculous amounts of research.
Always had a passion for all things underwater (I should have got my degree in oceanography not business ....) and kept my freshwater tank going for what seemed like forever. Now that I finally have the time and schedule to look after another tank was thinking of doing a saltwater.
My concerns are having never done a saltwater before it sounds much more complicated to get started and maintain than a freshwater. This could be my imagination as I've never done it before but was wondering if there is anything in particular I should be aware of venturing into this new world...
