Hi there
Hi all, I'm Millie. I am not new to freshwater aquariums. I enjoy fish keeping immensely. I have decided however,that I would like to give saltwater fish keeping a try. I have not before because I was always told something along the lines of "oh no! Beware the saltwater aquarium! It is a daunting, nigh impossible task! BEWARE!!"
Actually, I'm in the middle of a book and have read several beginner FAQs written by people with years of saltwater experience and have decided that they aren't much more work that what I would do with a larger freshwater. At least in some respects. I am willing to put in the effort to have a nice saltwater aquarium. In the meantime, though, I thought I would get to know some saltwater fish people and find out everything I could before I made my first attempt.

Re: Hi there
Hey Millie, I think right off the bat you will notice that the biggest difference between freshwater and saltwater is the expenses. I didn't even have a clue how much live rock and live sand would cost. Expensive lights and protein skimmers oh my! It is well worth the expense in my opinion though. Just wish I had more time to just sit in front of the tank.

Re: Hi there
Thanks to everyone who replied. I feel very welcome. To answer the question posed to me, I plan on a Fish only/live rock to start off with.
