I have a friend in a local fish club that keeps only freshwater fish... but his daughter talked him into helping her set up a salt water tank... she's in the first grade (but not a member here)...
now i realy do understand why people say saltwater is easy then freshwater.Less water changes =)I paid 250 for my 30g
water changes do not care if they are done for salt, fresh or brackish water.. they all need to be done as water parameters call for them...

I have 2 salt tanks and I have to do just as many water changes on them as I do with my fresh. So I don't think that statement was entirely true. But anyhow I'm 18 so your younger then me.
I set up my first SW just after i turned 16 then stripped it down soon after LOL.
I didnt have the time for it. My dad was in a bad way in hospital and everything was going wrong.

I had salt for a long time, and while they do offer some really beautiful specimens, it is much more work than any freshwater in my opinion. Also, my freshies seem to be much more hardy, they can take changes in the water much better than salt. But yes 13 is quite young to have your own tank. My parents did the same for me when I was your age, had a 42 SW in my room and it was great; made me a fish guy for life
