Want to do saltwater tank... Help!

[Joeyb1731]

So im kind of a newbie to fish keeping, but it very quickly has taken over my life. I have a 55 gallon tall freshwater and now I have my eyes on more. I have the opportunity to get my hands on at least 1 if not 2 tanks and stands, a 75 gallon with a stand and a filter for $150 or a 55 gallon long with a stand for free!! I want to do a saltwater aquarium but im a little bit hesitant. I need some direction, what should i do?

If I get the bigger of the tanks what kind of stuff should I buy for it like i mean what model filter lights etc?

Should I get the tanks store them and use my empty 20 gallon to do a nano saltwater, just to get the hang of it?

Thanks

Please read the sticky up top on what you need to start a saltwater aquarium. If it was me I would go with the 75 Gallon. IMO If you set up the 20 gallon you would be unsatisfied and want to upgrade in the future.
