We have a marine tank ( my other half does all the upkeep, I'm clueless).

We keep a great white under the house and replaced the floor with 12" glass so we can see him, we call him snuggles

Whats the issue I run a couple of different tanks. Also if you just wanted to read up check out ultimatereef.net good info and the tanks show off section is out of this world!! You can spend thousands just on the set up let alone stocking then upkeep!!

Although they do take up ALOT of your time. Let alone watching them all hours of the day!!

Dave , I'm afraid not council wouldnt pass the planning for a movable glass foundation

Yeah there are people on here who will give sound advice and that love posting pics of their set-ups

I would love to go marine but know enough to realise that I don't have the money for a half-decent tank/s.

You need knowledge, money and patience and I would say a year or so running a tropical tank to gain the basics.

Fabulous if you get it right though

Have done marine for quite a few years now. Lots of fun but patience needed. Ultimatereef.com is a good source of information and will help you along your way.

It can be pricey but there are plenty of second hand bargains out there. Water quality is your most important thing, getting that right at the start will prevent issues further down the road.

Must be handy for getting rid of over persistent door to door salesmen.

Getting my set up end of Jan, wanted to see if anyone local to me (nrheathrow) for advise. Signed up to ultimate reef.com brilliant!

At the begining patience is the option, mature the tank, remove contaminates including algae, stock slowly over a year period.
Job done. Could go into a lot more but you will find all you need to know on ultimatereef as said above
