Having your own marine aquarium will allow you to enjoy that beauty at home. Before taking the plunge, however, ask yourself: Is a marine aquarium right for me? Do I have the experience and the commitment it will take to make it a success?  \nExperience. I strongly recommend that you spend some time getting  \nyour feet wet with freshwater aquaria—learning the basics of water  \nquality, how to select and maintain filters and other equipment, and how to select fish and mix them to create compatible communities. Once you have that “wet thumb,” success with a marine aquarium will be more likely.  \nThe bright colors of marine fish make it easy to understand their appeal. Don't head to the fish store too soon—be sure you first understand the requirements of maintaining your aquarium  \nbefore making that first purchase.  \nCommitment. You should be a detail-oriented person who doesn’t mind maintenance chores and monitoring. If you’re willing to devote a minimal amount of time every day, you may be ready for a marine aquarium. There will also be a financial commitment; there’s no denying that it’s more expensive than a freshwater aquarium. However, marine aquarium–keeping is still cheaper than a lot of other hobbies. You’ll almost certainly spend less than a car collector or electronics nut!  \nI took the plunge into the marine hobby some years ago, and I hope that my experience will help you create a successful and attractive marine aquarium on your first try. First, we’ll lay the groundwork with some of the science that makes a marine aquarium work. Then, we’ll look at the nuts and bolts of the operation—the aquarium and the equipment that keeps it running smoothly. Finally, we’ll consider a cross section of fish you’re likely to see at your local fish store.
