Cool Fish for 20 gallon

[CCchaos04]

i have 4 freshwater tanks and i have an extra 20 gallon tall and i was thinking about turning it into a saltwater tank. What all would i need and how much money would this cost? What kinds of cheaper fish could i get? i was thinking damsels.

yeah you could get a damsel or 2 in there or you could do some nano fish like firefish,jawfish and smaller gobies,keep in mind you shouldnt have more than 2 fish in there. You'd need a filter,substrate,decore/LR,salt,lighting,fish and test kits. Thats the basics but there is more I am just laying down the basics. When I started my 30g its cost me about 250$ without the tank(i already had it)

Heres LiveAquaria.com's "Nano Fish" page. Give ya a look at what there is out there for small ones. (LiveAquaria's pic's are a little misleading sometime's if you see something you like do a picture search on google before you get to excited)

You could easily do a pair of small to midsized clowns (percula, ocellaris for example). Cardinals would also be good, as well as a lot of gobies. In my opinion, the limit would be 3-4 fish, and you will want to choose carefully to avoid conflicts. As fishman said, the tank and fish will be relatively cheap compared to the rest of the setup.

what kind of filter would be good thats not too expensive? What other supplies would i need?
