Beginners Marine tank kits

[harley79]

Hi Everyone,

I am a freshwater hobbyist that wants to jump over to salt water. I just don't know the best way to do it. I have done alot of research and still don't know which way to go. I have been looking at the all in one kits from
Eclipse and the Bio cubes. Any and all ideas are welcome.

Thank You Tammy

Those are a bit expensive..

What do you plan to keep ?

I am doing just fish like Damsels

just buy a standard tank drilled or not drilled, it doesn't matter. with salt bigger the better. the all in one kits are wayyyyy over priced IMO but if you are willing to spend the money i would go with the bio-cube.

Just get a tank, filter, salt, live sand, live rock and some lights and there you go

don't forget a protein skimmer

what does a protein skimmer do?

Removes organics from the water. Most do it by foam fractionation but there are also other methods out there
