Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello,
I'm new to keeping an aquarium and am considering a salt water tank. I have done a bit of research... not that much yet and have been turned away from the idea of starting up this tank. From what I have read it is pretty expensive and not really noobie friendly. Prior to this I had Gold fish for around 6 years and found these boring hence packing away my tank etc.
Im just curious as to how much setting up an actual tank this size would cost considering I have a tank stand and hood only, and what equipment is essential to succesfully keeping this tank functional.
This tank is around 26 gallons so isn't that large but I'm really only interested in starting this one up as a hobby to see how it goes and to see if I'm truely prepared for this.
The fish I'm looking at are 2 Clown Fish and possibly a Sea Horse. I have done some research on the Clown Fish and I think they generally are rather hardy fish.
So anyway back to my question - What do you guys recommend I will need to start this up and the costs involved???
Kind Regards,
Andrew
