i hope this doesent offend any of you marine people but I think marine tank are boring, they all look the same. Plus I think that some corals look creppy with weird brain shapes and fluero colours. With freshwater is much more fexible and you can do things like aquascaping, biotypes and breeding. Plus It cost you a whole lot less. The only thing I think is better about marine is shrimp, freshwater shrimp are obviously not very avalible and they are so cool, I envy you marine people with the awesome shrimp but pity you that you spent thousands on thier tank. Just being a bit contraversial.
