Advice: Salt or fresh water, they're both two worlds I enjoy doing. The only difference is PRICE! No need to discriminate, please do the same. As my coworker who likes to quote his little 20g saltwater tank as the "Mercedes of the aquarium world" ...Three expensive and dead fish later, he's selling his tank! lol
