First Time Saltwater Owner

[Apstreamz]

Hello I have only kept Freshwater Fish. I have a 75G tank and stand in box I plan to build. My question being what can I keep? How many? Also any important equipment I will need? I like Eels so maybe a snowflake or should I stick to Clowns, anemone, and Crabs? Please help.

Thanks a ton. I'll get to reading on my off days from work.

do the research, freshwater and saltwater are not alike at all, saltwater is much more complex and expensive. But in the end, much more rewarding IMO

Welcome to Reef2Reef! One thing that helped me a lot besides Reef2Reef was having a good knowledgeable LFS. I guess I'm lucky to have a good one nearby. I was able to go there and see the equipment, animal husbandry, and get almost hands on learning from asking questions.

I always do. I would highly prefer my animals live as long as possible.

Mine is fairly decent but they only really stock beginner stuff which is perfect. That little guy is adoreable.

Agreed. Apples to Oranges man.
