Hi everyone.
I live near an estuary on the south coast of Australia. I've been busy with life's events and haven't had an aquarium for 2 decades.
I've just bought a 4' X 2' X 2' tank and am considering my options while setting up the tank in its location in the wall in front of my kitchen.
My options are
a tropical freshwater set up (what I know fairly well - but I'm amazed at the technology that's now available!) or
a cold saltwater reef/ lagoon tank or
an estuary tank
The advantage of the latter two options are that I can add animals/plants taken from the numerous rock pools on the shore or from the rivermouth near where I live.
My main concerns in a still busy life are ease of setup and automated maintenance where possible. So the main disadvantage of the non freshwater alternatives I believe is the complicated maintenance issues.
Seems like I have some months of trial and error ahead.
Cheers.
