First Saltwater Tank

Flying_Diamond · Feb 17, 2007

So, I'd like to setup a small saltwater tank... but.. I know absolutely nothing about them. I do know that i'd like to have a clown fish in there. That's the only fish I want really. Sooo... what all do I need to start a saltwater tank, and how big does it need to be to support 1-2 clown fish? Any advice about them or links would be great!

I'm also thinking about setting up a small saltwater aquarium. I found this article: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79292 to be a great place to start when figuring out what it's all about. There also several other articles in the marine section of the article board that you might find useful, about saltwater cycling and such.

I'm sure some people with actual experience will be along shortly to give you more of an idea, but that's some reading for you

.

Good luck.

If it were me I'd go with a 20g minimum, so far I've had no trouble keeping everything stable and healthy but the smaller you go the harder it might get. My biggest piece of advice would be research research research, read everything you can lay your hands on.

Here is an article I wrote on another site. It is the first part of a two pat article geared directly towards people switching from freshwater to salt!
