Is this tank easy to maintain and was it exspensive to start?

[justjuice]

very easy to maintain other than the evaporation. daily top offs are a must. in the proces of making a auto top off system just like this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTYxVr8lws8 im also planing on making a cover in the near future to help with the evaporation

very cheap to start
60 for the tank light and little filter
20 for heater
10 nano power head
45 for filter/skimmer
10 for mini hydrometer

and like 75 for corals, live rock and fish

[koi]

How much you planning to resell the light for?

[justjuice]

like 20?.....

That is really amazing i never knew you could keep saltwater in a tank so small. I have a 5 gallon tank,heater,filter, i have a very small pond pump i could use as a power head,what else would i need to get started?

[justjuice]

everybody told me to start off big at least a 30 gallon but i did just fine with a three gallon. a skimmer is a must one like this sould be good for a five gallon http://www.petco.com/product/108200/...n-Skimmer.aspx i have a koralia nano 425 powerhead that is too big for my tank 15 if you want it and a hydrometer to check salt lv. make shure to get lots of live rock 2lbs for every gallon and cruched coral live sand. and make shure to do some research befor you buy any livestock i almost killed a mandarin goby because i did not take the time to read up on its needs. and make shure to give your tank time to cycle another mistake i made your tank should be done in about two three weeks tops.

I might consider starting this i've never done saltwater before.

[justjuice]

GO FOR IT! buy the saltwater if you do not feel like mixing your own thats what i do
