Dave, aquariums can be very relaxing when they're done right. Doing your research beforehand can help prevent most problems you can run into with fishkeeping, but there is still maintenance and care involved that some wouldn't call relaxing. Saltwater setups can be very simple, but being new, I would start with a moderate sized freshwater community tank and go from there. 40-75 gallons, peacefull, easy to keep fish, and basic equipment are all you need for a relaxing set up. There are a handul of very good aquarium forums out there. Fishgeeks and monsterfishkeepers are two that I can recommend offhand, and of course any questions you ask here can probably be handled as well.
