You would have dreamt of keeping one of those aquariums and be part of your life. So you venture into researching for more information of your interest. Freshwater or Marine Aquarium? This was a very similar decision I took back in my younger days. And to start off with an advise, freshwater is an easy start for most novice, cheaper and easier to maintain. Marine aquarium are more for the advanced. Lot’s of novice started off into the marine aquarium hobbying during the “Nemo” craze period few years ago, and many of them gave up being unable to maintain the delicate sea creature without proper knowledge of aquarium keeping.

However, marine aquarium keeping can be very rewarding for the experienced, as the ocean creatures are indeed exotic, and beautiful than anything a freshwater aquarium could have given you. Marine aquarium keeping is demanding in respect of maintenance, and if you cannot afford the time and money, it would be a very bad idea and disastrous, which most likely ended up your interest in the hobby being short lived.

Whichever you choose, any aquarium will add a touch of your personal character to any place where you keep it.
