It is superb to have you join us! By the way, freshwater tanks are much cheaper and easier for beginners.

Welcome to FishLore! It's great to have you with us! Definately do your research before setting up any tank whether it's fresh or salt. There are many colorful fish to choose from if you want a lot of color in your tank if you choose to start with fresh. You also can have live plants in your tank, and many of them are other colors besides just green. If you go into the beginners forum, you will see a sticky for "FishLore Articles for Beginners". That is a good place to start on your new adventure. The Conscientous Marine Aquarist is a highly recommended book from another site I frequent to get you started in setting up a marine tank.
