nano

read read read before you do anything

www.fishforums.net

cosmo will prob be able to give you good advice and greg.

you would be better doing a bigger marine tank first tho, the smaller it is the harder it is to keep. and 50ltr is pretty small

You could do a nano there is a section about it on that forum but 50l is only about what 15 gallons?

yeah bigger is easier. More water so chemical levels, temp etc are easier to keep the same. Less water slight imbalances have a more drastic effect. (hope that explains it kinda ok) a big tank could crash just the same but smaller is harder.

Tropical are far far cheaper too. plus marine is a daily job

Marine isn't easy and its very expensive!

I just stick to tropical! If its the colours that you are after the closest you can get (IMO) without going marine is Cichlids... which is what I keep

But 50 litres is a REALLY small tank and not suitable for them.
