No, not that much harder to keep up than freshwater.....once you read up on it and know what you are doing......Just about 5 times the cost! Where one would spend in the hundreds for a nice big freshwater set up with fish one could easily spend many thousands a year on a medium to large saltwater setup plus all the live rock at many hundreds of dollars to fill the tank, live sand, salt, special lighting, hygrometers, multiple test kits, buffers, trace elements, very expensive fish, add a few beginners corals for a few hundred more, protein skimmer, wet/dry filter etc. etc. etc. If you are looking at a 75 go ahead and spend a tad extra and get the 90 gallon as it takes the same space and stand but is maybe 4 inches or so deeper. Oh, now I get it...I re read your post and the LFS guy said it "tang" would be fine in a 75. Yea, he was correct, it will be fine in a 75 when it is only three inches long....until you come back in a year and a half and need to buy a 180 gallon from him!!!
