Any thing can be put into a saltwater aquarium if it is for decorative or structural purposes only. If you are referring to live rock for biological filtration then you are wanting to look for rock that is very porous and has been in a running saltwater system for at least six weeks. I have everything from premium Fiji live rock to a glass bottle in my aquarium.

How are saltwater aquariums different to other types of aquariums?
There is no difference in the physical aquarium itself, only what you put in it. If you go to a pet store and buy a glass or acrylic aquarium, you can use it for salt or freshwater. You may use some different equipment in it based on whether it is fresh or saltwater. For instance protein skimmers are generally used on saltwater tanks only, you use different lighting for freshwater planted aquariums versus salt water coral reef aquariums, etc. Of course the fish or invertebrates are specific to the type of water you are using as well. YOu may see some aquariums advertised as reef or saltwater, but this is just because they are a kit that comes with lighting, filtration, etc. that is suitable for saltwater.

Regarding Saltwater Aquiums You went out of town for a week and came home to a maroon slime on the live rock and live sand is this good or bad?
That is Bad. However, this shouldn't be a result of you being away for a week. Something had to change in your aquarium or have been recently introduced in the aquarium. Maybe you recently put in sand or a new piece of live rock? The algae is a nuisance and can hinder the growth and function of your substrates bacteria colonies. It might be that you've had this problem for a long time, but it has been kept in a cycle/environment that wouldn't allow the algae to build up. Maybe you left the light on in the aquarium the entire time you were away?
How many pH drops do you put in your saltwater aquarium?
I would not advise messing with the pH in a salt water (marine) aquarium. If you follow the directions on the particular testing kit that you have you should be OK but messing around with pH is a very dangerous thing to do and may quickly and easily result in dead fish.
