First off hello all, I recently moved out on my own and have always wanted to start a saltwater tank and I figured what time would be better then the present. I was given a 55 gallon tank from a friend with some salt and sand and a top fin filter, I went to my local store and got a heater a PH test kit and a salinity tester. My first question to start off with the many I guess is what equipment do I need to get a tank started. I have spent some time reading through the many forums here and from what I can gather a good filter is important which I am guessing mine is no good and lighting is very important. I know the light that was given to me is a flouresent bulb that spans the lenght of the tank. Any tips or advice is greatley appreciated.
