I have been into aquariums since I was 13 and I was wondering if there are any other enthusiasts here. I currently have a 55 gallon salt water tank with a few live corals in it and I am going to start with some fish when I get a few $

No, so I can't offer any advice or input....
I did want to tell you about a hospital I was at onee though. In the witing room of the emergency department, They had a wall that was an aquarium, on both sides, of course~ It was awesome!  |

Maybe......my daughter's ex boyfriend put one your size in a hole he made in the wall...I never got to see it but heard it was beautiful!
It's like me wanting a fireplace you can see from 2 rooms. Aquariums are so peaceful, especially at night but I would have to hire someone to clean mine!  |

Yes, I have a 55 gallon fresh water tank with 4 Bala Sharks, a Red Tail Shark, 3 large Angel Fish, a Beta, and a few Orange Tetras.
I have had this tank for many years with different combinations of fish, but have not yet tried salt water. I am afraid I will not get the balance right, and kill all the expensive salt water fish  .I enjoy it very much. At times I will just sit on the couch and gaze at their world. We have the tank near the fireplace in our family room so we can enjoy it daily. Rob |

Saltwater takes time, patience and $ relative to freshwater but isn't to bad once you figure it out. I have had fresh water tanks most of my life- I have always loved the colors and variety in the chichlids but they are some agressive little suckers.

Yes, the cichlids are very aggressive from what I have heard (my brother in law used to have them). I try to keep mine a community tank with semi-aggressive or less. The Red Tail Shark is my only "semi" at the moment. He shows it often by chasing the Bala sharks around the tank. He never harms them though, just chases.

Can you share any pictures of your tank ? I absolutely love sealife, especially the salt water range. Its one of my goals to work towards is to get a marine reef setup. I have a freshwater tank currently.

I had a 10 gallon when I was in high school, had to give it all away when I joined the USMC since my parents & brothers weren't gonna keep it (that was over 25 years ago).
My oldest got 3 little goldfish at a sleep over, and instead of a fishbowl I got a 2.5 gallon tank, a filter, and stuff and set up a small one last month. One of them died, and I got an algae eater & cory cat to take their place. They're all small, but they are fun to watch, and have interesting personalities. I put some bottomfeeder food in but the goldfish dive down and fight with the cory over it, no one is starving though and they are quite active, seem to enjoy their home.
