I am doing a new saltwater tank

I have done freshwater tanks for a while now and want to start a saltwater tank. I have cleaned out my 30 gallon tank and and want to start a new saltwater tank. I have a filter that hangs on the back a heater. I am going to do a fish only tank. Any advice?

 

Find yourself a good local fish shop that can advise you on fish selection. You will need a good live substrate and a protein skimmer. Your present hang on the back filter will work fine. Look into a hydrometer for measuring the amount of salt in the water, and everyone I talk to says that you need to use bottled or Reverse osmosis water - not tap water - to start.

Good luck!

As for fish choices^
refer to my posts about good fish for beginners, DO NOT EVER take the advice of an LFS, no matter how much they think they know, unless you go over to their place and see a reef/sw setup and everything looks healthy, been running for years, ect.
