My dream tank will be 36" with maybe 3 small fish like the Pseudochromis
fridmani and easy soft corals. I think I will have to buy a skimmer though.
And the cost of salt is an ongoing expense.
I also hear the ideal is to mix the salt for a long time like in a holding
tank with a pump. That alone is holding me back.having the water change
water always ready and not getting it right out of the tap in an instant.
I think it depends on your definition of cool fish because a lot of marines
need a larger tank and may be territorial.

Your going to get many posts talking about huge tanks, protein skimmers,
etc. etc.
I belong to a Yahoo group called Ultimate Sea horse.
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Ultimate_Seahorse/?yguid=141850848
They keep dwarf sea horses in a 10 gallon salt tank. The horses thrive and
do much better in the smaller tank. It concentrates the live food which is a
requirement.
One of the biggest challenges in this hobby is to eliminate the myths
perpetrated by the industry.

Subject: [AquaticLife] Cost of a beginner salt water setup?
I've only ever had freshwater tanks, but my dad keeps subtly mentioning how
awesome it would be to have a saltwater tank. I have a 10 gallon tank and
some accessories left over, but wasn't sure if 10 gallon is even worth it or
if I have to go at least 20+ to get some cool fish. I'm not the most
financially stable right now, and we're short on space. Is saltwater too
expensive to just "dabble" in? I haven't looked into it before. I have a
spot on a table I could but the tank, but would I need a stand to hide
canisters and such?
If you could put a price on a halfway-decent small beginner saltwater setup,
what would it be?
Thanks folks.
