Really hope it helps!!Ohhhhh that might be just what I’m looking for
I mentioned it causally to my expensive LFS about considering a salt water tank and window (Tank?) licking, and hooo boy I got an absolute LOAD DOWN
Information on sumps, protein skimmers, UV clarifiers, aquarium cooler, live rock, live sand, something about coral and feeding it or how to maintain them and how the cooler is a must if you have coral, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed but I think he rattled off more.

Summary of what I got: it’s a lot cheaper and easier to do freshwater
I'd expand my current tea garden tank with a big school of odessa barbs, more hillstream loaches, and a crew of firebelly toads if I can ever find some.
I'd duplicate a tank I had in Ohio with slate chunks and broken pieces to build caves. I'd stock matching what I had in Ohio with blue and yellow acara, jack dempsy, green terror, convicts. All would be single fish except the convicts would be a pair. The stocking sounds like a recipe for disaster but if all the cichlids are put in young and small it works fine. Oh, there would also be a pleco but not sure what type. Substrate would be pulled from a creek behind my apartments that has very small pebble stones as a bed. The substrate would also be a copy of the Ohio tank as that tank's substrate also came from a river bed.
