I had three fw tanks and three reptile tanks in my house when I was in Edmonton. That took my to Big als alot where there was a good selection of salt tanks. I decided that I would set up a salt water tank and no fresh when I moved.
I did, I got a 33 used with lots of aiptiasia. That tank got upgraded to a 75, then to custom 135 that I built myself. I have been in the salt side of things for almost 2 years now, and the 33 is a freshwater in the bedroom.

Pretty simple....
- kid with access to lake in summertime - kid discovers snorkelling - teen gets dive certification - young adult dives in tropics for first time - adult dives LOTS in tropics - adult decides to have ocean in living room.

It was all my husbands fault (he bought me my first 20g sw tank 16yrs ago), something I got to remind him of very recently when I ordered the bubbleking skimmer

Have been doing fw for 32 years now. Started my first sw in the mid-80s with a 33g (lionfish) & a 110g fowlr with a Smooth Horn SHARK, Passer King Angel, MOORISH IDOL, & Snowflake Moray filtered by a Whisper3 HOB, a Magnum cannister, and a Undergravel filter with NO liverock (what's that?) and crushed coral substrate. Call it beginner's luck but no problems keeping either the Shark or the Moorish Idol, although I would never do that nowadays.
Started SW again after watching Finding Nemo with Irene. We came home from the movie theater on Tuesday, found a complete 33g setup on Wednesday & bought it, brought it home & set it up on Thursday. Several thousands later (I really DON'T want to know exactly how much), I'm up to a 210g mixed garden reef with 75g sump, 120g softie/anemone reef (ex-fowlr), and 90g seahorse refugium/sump. Altogether, over 800g of volume in my small 2 bedroom groundfloor suite & out of electricity so no more tanks (famous last words). Anthony
