Hi everyone,
Came across this forum while trying to get info on how to setup a saltwater tank.I Have had freshwater tanks for last 7-8 yrs. Even got a chance to setup a nursery tank in my tank by catching frys as they were being born, since i had guppies, mollys breeding. While that has been fun, I have always been intrigued by the salties, just how absolutely breathtaking "Under the ocean" world is....
With that being said, I want to start small coz dont want to blow my budget, so looking at fully stocked starter kit tanks. So questions I have are pretty basic. I plan on going to my local fish store n not big brand stores. Live sand n live rock are the only things I will take. So after setting up these 2 initially:
1. how long before introducing fish n which fish are the best for tanks less than 30 gal or even a nano tank of 12 gallons? also want to make it into a reef tank later with minimal fish not more than 4.
2.Also once the fish acclimate for a month or 2 which soft corals are good for a newbie? Plan to keep simple soft ones only...
3. Can someone also direct me towards a post that discusses how to and more importantly WHAT to feed both fish n coral?
Thanks for all the advice in Advance!!!
