the $$$ has no limit. hehehebluedempsey said:
they're great...not too hard if you cycle with live rock, you find some amazing things come in on them. but populating the tank gets really pricey really fast. corals aren't the most hearty of creatures either. lighting is crucial. even so, i love mine.
Bluedemp no offense but you can keep anything in an 800 gallon, I saw your pictures: Emperor angelfish, Powder Blue tang. I mean come on man I cant put any of those fish in my 55, or they just die! So dont tell these people that saltwaters easy. How often do you do water changes? yeah I know zero, all you have to do is change out your filters. I would like to see you keep an emperor in anything smaller than a 100.

i want to see u try to clean, change water , feed, and so on, i'm the only employee, and there's about........ 40 plus tanks
i'm just saying once it's done cycling... it's comparible to freshwater
it's just alot of people rush to get fish in the water!!!!

What Im trying to say is starting a new reef tank is fairly easy,but when it comes to keeping picky fish in a new tamk it gets difficult. 
Also my bad for blowin up I just recently lost an emperor that cost me a preety penny.

well I put him in there and the first week was pretty easy. He ate first day I put em in. Well then things got bad, his fins started to deteriate and began to stop eating. I tryed everything, freshwater baths, comercial remedies, nothing helped and by the second day it started it died
