Ryan220587 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hey mate, I will watch this thread as I too would like to know what is involved. Have a 6 x 1.5 x 1.5 and I am unsure as to whether I will have africans in it, or turn it into a marine setup. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwalters Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Personly i think you shoud do some research on marine tanks from either the library or the internet. With marine tanks you need a lot of patience and it can take a long time to set one up properly and also kill everything very very fast, it has to be done properly. I suggest you have a look at http://www.garf.org/index.shtml http://www.masa.asn.au/masa/index.html http://www.reefs.org/ You also need ALOT more money Hope this helps Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan220587 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi Antony, Well at the moment I quite literally just got it home and cleaned it up I am still fairly undecided but might still sway towards another tropical setup, only because a) I don't think the mrs. will appreciate my bad case of MTS and I do know from speaking to people that marine is a lot of time, a lot of work and a LOT of money. None of which are very practical for me at this point in time. Down the track perhaps, but just not at this stage. However if I do change my mind, I will be sure to PM you.

Bristlenose_boy93 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Mate, just go with a nice freshwater setup. Its all up to you but be prepared, the time and effort and money you have to put into marine is alot. My sister has a 3ft marine sumped and it has costed her over 2K already.
