I've been thinking of making my next tank a salt water one. I have been keeping fresh water fish on and off for the last 30 or so years, and I'm an avid scuba diver.
When I first thought of going salt I went a little crazy with my wish list and ended up with a stock that would need at least a 400gallon fowlr. Not all fish were reef safe. I got really discouraged to say the least and just upgraded/redid my fresh water.
Fast forward to now, I've rebooked at some salt water species of a smaller variety and now I am thinking of a 55-75 gallon reef.
Stupid phone app
Here are my questions
Is that too much for a newbie to salt?
Besides the tanks what else do I need to invest in?
Once set how time consuming is the upkeep if I do it I want to do it right
I have a lot more questions I'm also doing my own research
