"http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_it_cost_to_set_up_a_saltwater_fish_tank_not_including_the_tank" Well there's 7 different things your going to need: 1) A TANK: start around $30 2) A STAND: start around $20 3) A FILTER: start around $20 4) AN OXYGENATOR: start around $20 5) GRAVEL: start around $5 6) PLANTS: start around $2 7) FISH: start around $5 depending on availability It can be quite expensive but well worth it! You will pick up these items cheaper by purchasing them as a "whole package" at your local pet store or aquarium supplier. Your local Fish and Chip shop will probably take your fish when they get too big so you get some of your money back atleast. And remember, it's just a hobby, if a fish dies, it's not the end of the world. Have fun with your fish, give them friends, give them nice things in their tank, give them good food, but remember never give them alcohol.

Why would a freshwater aquarium be dangerous for saltwater fish?
The density and pressure of saltwater is different from freshwater as is much of the bacterias and parasites. The acidity of the water is also of concern as the lower the PH the higher the acidity of the water. Saltwater being of a higher PH would not handle the lower PH of freshwater very well. Also if moving a freshwater fish to saltwater that fish will lose a great amount of water in it's body causing death and if the saltwater fish is moved to freshwater it will gain great amounts of water causing death.
