What's it like being a female Marine?

Whats the cost of a very nice marine tank?

  • Im thinking about getting a marine tank and im just wondering what would be the cost of getting a 150 litre tank. I would also like to get in the tank a flounder, clown fish, cleaning shrimp, yellow tang,blue hippo tang,middas blenny,sand sifting starfish,mandarin dragonet,fighting conch and that should be it thank you if you could just tell me the price of all that thanks!

  • Answer:

    It would be in the thousands. A brand new tank of that size will be at least 1500. You can find used ones on the Internet between 600-900 dollars, some in mint condition others not. Keeping a saltwater fish tank especially of that size will be quite pricey too, and tons of maintenance. Getting it started will be the blunt of the money. Unless this is your dream and you have money to practicably throw out, you will be satisfied with your salt water fish tank :). If you have never had one before, or any fish tank you defiantly want to start out with a smaller size like a 30-50 gallon.

Lee,, 150 liters is about a 40 gallon tank, a bit on the small side for that biological load,, flounder is not necessarily tropical where the others are,,, ---a flounder would require target feeding as it is a bottom dwelling species, it wont get enough to eat unless food is put right in front of its nose,,,even then the other fishes will snatch it away ---two tangs would be in competition for the same food sources ---fighting conch, dragonet and sand sifting starfish would compete for the same food sources ---the dragonet would most likely be the first to starve to death in a new tank as there would be no smaller organisms that provide their main food source at which they constantly graze --- a very nice marine tank can be had for less aggrevation ,, start slow,, work your way up to the more difficult species after you have gained some experience ---cost cannot be your determining criteria ---saltwater = a box of water that you cotinually pour money into
