how big should my tank be if i just want to put like 2 fishes in the saltwater tank?

Pretty good for a one minute video (admitted several hours wouldn't cover every aspect of starting a saltwater). I don't understand some of the criticisms I've read here, been keeping saltwater for 24 years and said much the same thing when people have asked me.

well if your going to get one i recommend you read lots of forums and books. Many other aquarist regret reading too little if ment that they could save all their fish the previously owned. Another important thing is to KNOW YOUR CHEMISTRY and the nitrate system. Pleeze let the tank mature for a month to grow a healthy colony of good bacteria. Adding live rock can shorten the maturing process. One pound per 1-2 gallons should do the trick. Also don't listen ass-village. goodluck
