If you had the money would you go marine or stay t

I would love to go marine love clown fish, but there is alot to learn on the marine side.

I'd stay tropical for the next couple of tanks - I find the marines too expensive to get started properly compared to tropical.

Plus, you can't have gold nuggets in a marine!!!

Marine is our next step - we have everything except the live rock and skimmer

Its just a matter of time

My next tank will definitely be marine. I started to do it with th 75 gallon I just finished setting up but wanted to get just a little more experience under my belt. I love all the color and variety of SW fish. Naturally, my wife wants a "Nemo" so I know it will have clown fish for sure.

My 75G is most deffinatley going to be marine. You can get cooler looking fish! Liker nemo! I have a facination with triggerfish too!

I'm just staying tropical at the moment, but I'm going to do a saltwater tank (125 gallon) for her office.

So, free tank for me practically

Not me, I've got SO much to learn about tropical fish, and given current lifespans, I don't suppose I've got more than 50 years to do it in.

well if I had more money i would probably keep the fresh water tanks and have another for marine, but what I would love the most are the riffs and corals, I'm curious on how they grow.

Marine are nice but id buy a 200 gallon tropical tank and have the biggest community tank ever, everytype of fish amung the vast rocky and planted areas and let nature take its course. Wonderfull.

I would like to get a 55g or 29g fresh water b/c i don't want to go through the trouble of setting one up right now. I have some troubles with my 10g right now. I don;t know why but there has been a pattern. I add 4, 2 die, replace them and their fine after that. Then add4 2 die. I think it is b/c I add too many @ one time for that small of a tank.

You are probably right. Adding 4 fish to a 10 gallon creates a pretty big mini cycle for the filtration. Two at a time is about all you can do for a small tank.
