Aquarium Advice FINatic
Ok guys I made a thread last week to try and get started and i picked a few things up. My dad says its really difficult and expensive to maintain saltwater fish. Is it really? Outside of water changes what more work do I need to do? I assume there is some kind of meter to detect salinity(link me if you can please). I learned in my previous thread that I need a ro/di unit. Outside of the ro unit what other hardware do i need? What temp should I keep the tank at? What salt - water ration should I keep?
What I have is a 60 gal tank(with stand) with 60 pounds of gravel(originally planned to be freshwater. On the fence about salt/fresh water).
I know I Need
ro/di unit (have a link to one on ebay)
sand (link me, I heard argonite is good, but haven't seen it for sale)
live rock (available at my lfs
filter (easily obatinable)
heater (easily obtainable)
salt (???)
am i missing anything?
