Hello everyone, Iam hoping I can get the voice of experience from someone. Iam currently plucking up the courage to endulge myself in a marine coral set up but everyone I speak to says to not even think about it if I cant spare hours a day for maintenance. I currently have a small tropical set up and has run fine for 2 years now.So my questions are ...... water changes how often and how much ?? Other water balances apart from salinity I need to monitor, and any other advice on buying a already running set up and transportation of fish etc.One final question I have room for a 4to6 foot set up but the room I'd like it in has a log burner thats used through winter will this affect temp changes to much as it only gets lit during the day.i appreciate any help and thanks for taking the time to read my first post

I would suggest that you start with a smaller tank while in the learning process. Study all of the beginner data that you can. (You can start in our beginner thread) Its not scary but you do have a little maintenance daily. A smaller tank would be more manageable for you in the beginning .
Good Luck and welcome to R2R!
