With saltwater fish, the bigger the tank the better. It is actually easier to balance (get the water to get to the correct levels) a large tank than a small one. I would recommend a minimum tank size of 40 gallons, but preferably at least a 70 gallon.

I have had successful saltwater tanks as small as 29 gallons, but I wouldn't recommend that small of a tank for a beginner. The bigger the tank, the better, for saltwater fish.

Yeah i would agree. the bigger the tank, the better! It really depends on what you want in your tank. There are some beautiful fish that are not too expensive. A cute clownfish goes for about $15-$20. Overall keeping a salt water tank is expensive and I recommend setting aside a lot of money. I have a 30 gallon tank and I would say about $500. That includes EVERYTHING including fish ( i set aside about $100 for those) and LR (liveRock) and all my supplies. Feel Free to email me!

RESEARCH...RESEARCH AND RESEARCH SOME MORE!!!!!
please do not consider a salt tank before you know ALL the ins and outs. not only do you have all the other factors involved for tanks, you also must consider saline balance and COST!!
salt water fish are VERY expensive.
