Hello everybody.. brand new to this scary salt water part of the hobby.. lol
I'm currently still in freshwater taking care of Cichlids. They are getting way too big in my 46G tank so I've decided to get rid of them, get some community fish and move the tank out of my room and into the living room.
I have a small 12G tank doing nothing so I want to try myself at this saltwater. My guess is that since it's such a small tank I wont be able to put a lot of fish so I need to know what you recommend I put in it...
also, since I need to buy a new filtration system, air pump, lighting and so on, is it so much different than freshwater? Also everybody tells me saltwater tanks are very picky and require very precise water chemicals. What would they be?
I'm really lost so any help would be of big help.
