Nice tanks, guys. I've always wanted to do something like that, but aren't saltwater tanks pretty hard to maintain?

ive had it for a few months now. all you really have to do is your water changes and filters like once a month and if you have special corals or something you have to buy chemicals(vitamins) for them. if something does go wrong in the tank you do a water change
