its harder than FW thats for sure.
and its a huge money pit
lights alone cost 200-1000 for a 3 feet tank like mine.
then if you want a sump.
you will need to drill your tank and make a DIY sump or buy one.
after that ! you need a skimmer. which runs around 200-1000 dollar again as well.
so far this week i ve been lucky buying the liverocks and livesand plus the livestock for cheap, but i just ordered my lights and skimmer etc is all in process.
btw forgot to mention,. you Have to buy liverock to grow beneficial bacteria in your tank. and you need .5-1 pound per gallon and its 10 dollar a pound. Livesand is optional.
