Any tips on a saltwater aquarium?

We are getting a saltwater aquarium for the first time. Does anyone have advice of what to put in it and what kinds of fish go good together?

Answer #1

Do you homework. You need to cycle the tank a while to get the ph balances and salt just right. Saltwater aquariums are very much different than fresh water and take a lot more care and caution. You can purchase sand kits with organisms in it. (they are good, they keep the tank clean) Saltwater aquariums are like mini eco systems themselves. Also… the bigger the tank the better. Research flitration systems, will you have an external pump?

What about corals and live plants?

There is lots and lots of preparation and setup before you can even think about fish.
