I got a 120g tank Saturday. Nothing is in it right now except air. I hope to get it filled with water sometime this week. We will see....

I like fish but don't like the upkeep. I would assume salt water tanks are easier to keep up ???

From what I read its about the same... it use to be harder but things have gotten easier with better equipment and science. After I get everything going, I should only have to monitor the water and do partial water changes every couple of weeks... For me, I would have to replace say 10 gallons every two weeks....

I got everything setup over the weekend. Now, I need to the tank to cycle. Hopefully in a week or two I will be able to get some fish.

I have added 12 snails and 2 fish since my last update. I hope to add a couple more fish this weekend, maybe some more snails and unlikely but I can still hope, a crab or two.
