Hi all...
I am considering converting my son's upright 15 gallon fresh to a salt tank. Maybee just to house a few clowns and maybee some other fish.
What exactly do I need to get this tank off the ground... I know I need a decent filter but I do not want to go with anything huge like a canister on a 15 gallon. I was contiplating an AC 150. He has a penguin mini on it right now and its ok with about 10 fish in it at the moment.. Maybee this would be ok and get a power head as well?
Also is a protien skimmer a must on such a small tank? Just curious about that as well?
I have read about live rock and such but am not sure I want to go that route. Maybee just some coral decorations nothing live...
My LFS has about 20 tanks set up that they sell out of and none of them have live rock so thats why I was curious about that.... Is that a must as well?
So if anyone could walk me through the basics for a small salt tank I would appreciate it...
Thanks
