Saltwater tanks bring the wonder of the ocean right into your home. They are a great educational tool because they allow kids to watch aquatic animals grow and react to one another. Even though they can't hold the fish, children nevertheless enjoy aquariums. Getting Started - Size
- Fish only, or a reef system?
- Lighting
- Heating
- Types of fish.
Maintenance - A pet shop that specializes in saltwater animals is the best place to get started.
- Get the biggest tank you can afford in order to allow the animals more room to move.
Notes: Saltwater aquariums are very time-consuming and expensive to maintain. Some shops offer a maintenance service. Web site resource for saltwater aquariums: How to Set Up a Saltwater Aquarium
