Setting up a saltwater tank

by jimiffondu@[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jimi Ffondu) Nov 26, 2004 at 07:58 AM

Hello everyone,

Just a quick one...  I've been keeping a community freshwater tank
(4ft x 1ft x 18inches tall) for around 10 months, and it was about six
months ago that I realised that far more interesting things live in
the sea than live in rivers.  I don't know why I didn't think of it
before, but I'd really like a saltwater tank - is it as simple as
setting up an aquarium with salt water in it?  How does it compare to
keep marine animals vs tropical fish?  It's probably a stupid
question, but do they have the same heating requirements, or
exclusively coldwater, or does it depend on the fish (apologies for
being stupid)?

I'd also like to know whether it is easy to keep a number of species,
and if anyone could recommend a good combination, or, perhaps more
im****tantly, any dangerous combinations!  And how much volume do they
require on average?

Now, this is really going to show my ignorance - I saw a do***entary
on the cuttlefish last night.  They're properly amazing, aren't they? 
Are they a creature which one could / should keep in an aquarium?

Thanks for your time - best wishes,

James
