Would it ever be possible to have a deep sea home aquarium? Is it too unfeasible?
You want a fish that needs to be at immense pressure, and will die if not kept in near-total darkness?
Just put bricks on the figh if the pressure is an issue
Saltwater isn’t as bad as people think. The science and equipment have come a long ways in the past 5 years.Saltwater tanks are a pain in the ass to upkeep. Have a friend who has I want to say 60 gallon tank. He had to spend a lot of time messing with the water, filters, etc. It looked really cool with all the fish and anomone creatures but so much work.
Last time I hung out with my friend was a about 10 years ago so that's probably why I remember it being so time consuming. I don't know what ro/di is unfortunately. But it sounds like you make your own saltwater which is pretty cool. He would just get the saltwater from the beach from station you pump it from.Saltwater isn’t as bad as people think.

Make your ro/di water, mix the salt, and do your water changes. Clean your skimmer filter. And daily dose your supplements if needed.
It’s less than 2 hours a week of work and that’s for an intermediate, LPS, level corals.
A heavily planted freshwater tank takes way more time.

Could have also looked like a lot of work since it wasn't my hobby it was his so just spent more time because it was enjoyable for him. Not going to lie though it was gorgeous. He didn't too many fish and nothing fancy in that regard but the coral and coral like things were very colorful and trippy looking. I remember being on shrooms and got stuck staring at the aquarium for like an hour lol.
