Yep, you're correct. I popped up a pic of adult tierra batfish. Here's an adult pinnatus batfish:

Ah, cool. I had an orbicularis a while back when I was first keeping saltwater. Awesome fish!

Saltwater, (even reef) can be just as easy to take care of as any other aquarium. The main issues are being prepared, and well funded. Well established reefs especially if stocked minimally can have relatively simple filtration, and also can go awhile without water changes. (I do mine more frequently just to bring the nutrient levels up to par) Plan your dream tank, research the crud out of it, start buying and setting aside the hardware you want, keep researching, and by the time that you have all your stuff set up you should have an okay idea of whats going on! I basically just got a saltwater tank one day...it wasn't all smooth sailing, but being members to online communities like these can really help.

drool.................if it wasnt for the maintainance , id probably have a saltwatertank !
im still trying to convince myself everytime i see pics like these

If you can avoid heavily stocking the tank, it's actually not too much work. My first tank was a 12 gallon nano and all I did was water change every two weeks.

I do less WCs on my salt tank then my fresh tanks...
