My parents finally agreed to let me get a 55 gallon. I've been going back and fourth on if I should make it saltwater or freshwater.
I've learned so much about freshwater on the forum and now know how to properly go at taking care of a freshwater tank.
I've never done saltwater before and have no clue on care or anything. Would I need a sump? (Don't know what a sump really is) Do saltwater tanks require a different filter than freshwater? How do I do water changes ?!
I know saltwater is much more expensive but money isn't a problem , but over the past few months, I've also realized I can create a beautiful freshwater tank as well. I've figured out tons of new fish I can stock instead of the typical guppy or tetra.
I don't know anything about corals, plants, or fish for saltwater.
I think saltwater would be a fun challenge, but a freshwater tank would be a fun and easy build to enjoy.
Will Someone please chime in and give me some basic info and care on saltwater tanks so I know the gist.
THANK YOU
