Default Confused

I have a 55 gal. FW tank and would love to transform it into a Salt water tank. I am reading and hearing very conflicting views on how easy/hard it is to do so. Nowhere can i get answers about whether I can clean my existing equipment and use it in a SW tank or do i need to start all over again with new equipment?
Altough I don't know the differences between the types of filters, I have the type that hangs on the side of tank and has 2 filters in it. One is a charcoal packet that needs changibg every so often and another filter that gets washed out.
I have a medium sized "bubble stone" that introduces air bubbles into the tank.
can I use this type of equipment and change over to SW or what? Any suggestions would help.

Go to the reef builders forum index and go to the bottom...there's a SW FAQ about everything you need down there.
