I want a fish tank so bad but it so expensive to get a nice one. Ill probably just settle for some gold fish in a pond outside.

Be prepared to keep an eye on your salinity. Smaller tank will eat up water and raise your salt levels. I will try to post pictures of my 75 later on. I have an oceanic tank stocked with Bamboo Shark, Wolfe Eel, Clowns, Star, and some corrals.

I was gonna make my 150 gallon a reef tank till i realized that I was looking at around 5k minimum just for live rock/sand/lights/filtration (not including a sump). Then you got chemicals, live stock, cleaning crews, food, ect ect. It adds up really fast. Needless to say the 150 is now a Cichlid tank. As a reef tank I was going to have a Lion, an Angel, and an Eel, then of course the little guys like clowns corals and the cleaning crew

nice nano. The wife and I have a 75 with our predators and a 50 with our reef stuff. No pics worth posting though. The tanks are both dirty and the wife has let all her coral die because she has been too busy with the little one since he was born.

I had a 130gl with salt water fish and it was a PAIN! It was also very expensive. I then changed it to a fresh water aquarium.
