hello i am thinking of starting up a saltwater fish tank. i already have a 69g freshwater. here are my questions 1-whats the smallest size tank i can go 2-what is procedure for cycling 3-what equipment do i need 4-etc...... the more info i can get, the better............. thanks

that makes sense! id rather keep on doing my cleanings on a monthly basis than adding more fish. i wouldnt want to change something that is working fine.

wouldnt that be way to many fish for my tank?
