yes it is expensive when u start out.
as for maintenance all i do is top my tank up every week with 1 bucket of ro water, then every other week do a water change with 2 buckets of salt water
Well our tank has 2 fine water filters on them and they cost £900 each and because they are so delicate they require to be cleaned every 4-5 days.
Then we change the grit at the bottom ever other week because it can deteroite and harm the sharks, Which is alot of hasstle and costs about £20 for each batch.
get sum live rock n some sand sifters that would make life alot easyr

We used to feed my mates oscars with goldfish when we were in school, he had them for years and years together and they were fine.
Tank was about 3ft also.

Oscars need a tank about 5 foot long. They get pretty big. I wouldn't mind one when I get rid of my current fish.

Trust me its not awesome Its a funny shape and its hard to reach right to the bottom so makes it a pain to clean. I want a normal shape one again and just one or 2 big fish. There are far too many in there at the moment

Theres a lot of fish that seem very good at hiding in these photos that can in the main part be described (correctly) as EMPTY TANKS!
