hi hows everyone doing? I am new to the marine fish keeping world and would possibly like to get involved but dont know if i have what it takes. i have a 35 gallon hexagon tank right now. I have a heater and standard flourescent lighting that came with the tank. i have a aquaclear filter on the tank as well. all i would be looking to do would be to set up a nice fish only tank, as inexpensive as i can get it. i am not looking to spend a bundle. so heres my question; what will i need to start up this tank? what kinds of fish are easy to keep? is marine fish keeping as hard as people make it out to be? what extra equiptment will i need? Thank you for your time and thoughts and your responses will be greatly appreciated.

i posted on your other topic so i am not going to name all the equipment but no
marine keeping is not as hard as it is made out to be providing you keep reasonably
hardy fish.
also i forgot to mension a fish called a royal gamma or a two tone dotty back.
they are quite hardy but dont make that your first fish as it will establis territory fast
