Aquarium Advice Freak
Ok, so I recently upgraded from a 29g to a 55g freshwater tank, and am starting my research to start up a saltwater tank. This is a standard 29g tank, was a marineland kit from walmart, the original filter was replaced with an aquaclear 30 hob filter, which was moved over to the 55 along with an aquaclear 50. I know I will need a fliter, and new substrate (any recomendations). I am not looking to start a reef tank, and this one if not built with a prefilter. I've been looking to build up a fowlr tank, but know nothing about how to begin. I am very willing to learn, and read, and will take any and all advice. I am looking to keep some puffers (not sure which one(s) yet, but possibly a porcupine if they can be kept in the small of a tank), and other fish that can be housed in a tank with puffers, and some angels. We like the flame angel, and some of the other smaller brightly colored fish, what stock would you all recomend in such a tank?
Thanks in advance for all the help and advice,
Bear
*EDIT*
Will the original light that came with the kit be enough for a saltwater tank? its a standard black plastic hood with the flourescent light strip in it. It provided enough light for the freshwater tank, but will it work in a saltwater tank as well?
Thanks again
