| info on starting a saltwater tank I have had a freshwater tank for several years and would like to make the plunge to a saltwater tank. I have a 55 gallon tank. I need to know if this tank would be big enough and what equipment that I have that I could continue to use. I have a penguin bio wheel filter and a magnum canister filter. I have read a lot of info on starting a saltwater tank, but I believe you get the best info from people who have one. I want to know what anyone thinks is the absolute necessary equipment to have and the best fish for new to the hobby. I would like to start with a fish only with live rock tank in the beginning and maybe move to corals later. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!  |

| I believe that with the right lighting your fish only tank will do fine, keep in mind that, the more fish, the more of a bio load you will have. I would think about upgrading my filteration before I added fish, it is really easy to overload a tank, this is my personal opinion to you. |
