Aquarium Advice Freak
I currently have a 36 gallon freshwater aquarium and love it, but I have put a couple hundred dollars into it just in the last four months buying new fish, substrate, new plants, etc.
I am looking to add a saltwater tank to my room as well. I'm looking to do something small (probably about 10 gallons) because they are expensive to buy, maintain, and provide fish, so something small would be more inexpensive.
Basically, I'm wondering if I need a special aquarium or if one of the 10 gallon kits found on Amazon or Walmart will do okay. Also, do I need a special filter? What would the cost be to get a tank looking like the one on this video: 10 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium Update #2 7/26/09 - YouTube.
I'm not opposed to buying a used tank on Craigslist to save money, but I need a reasonable estimate of what it would cost.
As for fish, I'm looking to get a pair of clown fish (aren't they necessary in every reef tank? ) and possibly a third small fish as well.
Thanks and I appreciate it!
