hi there,

maintenence wise shud be about the same or slightly a bit more than your current tropical tank,IF, u got the initial set up right.

do some research on the basics like cycling period,water parameters,etc etc

this link wud be a good starting point for you.

IMO,an ideal size wud be a 3ft X 2ft X2 ft tank as it has enuogh water volume to be more tolerant of some newbies mistakes.

cheers.
