i have had a 20 gallon fresh water tank for over 4 years now, and every year i keep saying i want a saltwater tank,well i am finally going to do it! but i am just so overwhelmed with all this information ive read here and on other sites and i just dont know where to start. i have about 2 inches of sand on the bottom that has been there for abou 2 years now. i have a biowheel filter and a heater.
I am just lost on how to go about dumping the salt in, what brand salt, if i need to change my filter.
the tank is just going to be for fish, no coral, but i want the tank to look realistic. i dont like all the cheesy plastic toys and crap in there.
so would i use this live rock that i keep reading about. and would that start my cycle?... ahhh help please..lol
