Saltwater tanks are much easier now days to take care of from how they used to be.....but even with that said, I'm not going to be the one doing it. I've already got a company setup to come take care of it on a regular basis for me. With the cost of some of the fish, I'm not taking any chances!!

Wish I had the "moolah" to afford someone to come out and do maintenance. I have resorted to not adding any more fish to my tank only corals. You would probably frown on how much I have spent on fish only to have them perish in my tank. Thats the only downside to saltwater, there are very few species that have been successfully farmed. The rest are wild caught, and generally have a hard time adjusting to aquarium life. Hence one of the reasons I have a reef tank and not a fish only tank.
