Hi, I’m starting a saltwater aquarium and I have a 60L tank. I was just wondering if anyone has any ideas on the fish I could put in there?

I’m also new to saltwater aquariums, I did have a freshwater aquarium and now with saltwater I’m seeing things such as calcium, phosphate, etc and was wondering if those things are required for saltwater tanks or certain species?

That’s not a lot of space. Only really room for a pair of small fish. Maybe have a small goby as well. A clownfish/anemone tank would be cool. Phosphate, calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, etc. is mostly important for keeping corals. Nitrate and phosphate are nutrients, and alk/cal/mag is used to build the coral’s skeleton(if it has one).
 

DO YOU USE A PAR METER WHEN PLACING NEW CORAL IN YOUR TANK?

  • Yes! I think it's important for the longterm health/growth of my coral.

  • Yes, but I don't find that it is necessary all the time.

  • No. I don't measure PAR and my corals are still healthy/growing.
