I'm sure others with more experience will expand upon this, the larger the tank the better off you'll be for salt water. Personally, 90gal, 120gal, or even 180 gal would be good. well you can use 20, or 30 thirty to quarentine before adding to a larger tank.You will find most species need at least 55 some only 30, so at least 30 No less than 55 is recommended, 1inch per gallon

How hard is it to maintain a Salt Water fish tank?
Personally, I think fresh water is easier because a salt water tank means that you need to purchase aquarium salt, and you need to add it to every water change. I have never raised a saltwater aquarium, but I believe you also have to measure the amount of salt the fish need. So if you're a first-timer, go for the fresh water tank. But the good thing about saltwater tanks is that it is more diverse and colorful.

In a salt water tank do you put water or sand first?
If you are premixing the salt in a large container outside the tank, then put the sand in first. If you are going to mix the water and salt in the tank, then put the water in and mix it first, and then when its mixed put in the (rinsed!) sand. It will fog up, but that will go away.
How expensive is it to own a salt water tank?
That depends, of course, on the size of the tank and what you put in it. A small tank such as a nano tank or a pico tank, is not too expensive to keep up. There are many corals you can have without spending an arm and a leg. Also some people have fish only which in general is less expensive. The salt water can be purchased or made at home. You needs light which can be very expensive for LED units or much less reasonable if you purchase lights such as T5s . It is possible to own a salt water tank and not spend a fortune keeping it up.
