Aquarium Advice Newbie
hi
i've always wanted a saltwater tank but have been terrified that i would totally screw up. i think i've conquered my fear but i have a couple of questions. i was wondering if eclipse filtration can be used for a saltwater tank. if not what would be the quietest system available for saltwater. alot of having the aquarium hinges on the noise level...ok actually it all hinges on it b/c if my wife can hear it ...it won't be happening. i recently set up a 3 gal eclipse to test the waters so to speak & she loves it & is actually interested in the saltwater set up if it's quiet.
i know that larger is better. but i have space restrictions, how realistic is a 15- 20 gal w/ live rock & 2 clownfish & maybe a shrimp?
i'd appreciate any advice or suggestions.
