30 gal tank transfer

[<>< Sesheru ><>]

well in one of my earlier posts *new*nano i think instead of getting a nano i should convert my freshwater in a salt water tank giving my more money to buy more and the fish get more space instead of a 12g so what would i need to start up a sw 30 gal? ive got a bio wheel for 50gal and im ordering a magnum hang on canister filter

Ps dnt worry about my fish ill give them to my friend that also loves fish

The bio wheel and the canister filter will be worthless (actually, detrimental) on a SW tank, though you could use the powerfilter (without the biowheel) for water movement and surface distortion.

You will want some high quality live rock and a few good powerheads. Basically the same things you will need for a 12g - just more of it.

just get a few koralias (a #1 + a #2 will prolly work good on that tank) a minimum of 30lbs of live rock and thatll be good enough to get your cycle going.... if i remeber correctly u wanted to keep some of the easier to keep corals if thats the case youll need to look into lighting (pc's or t5's) the bigger tank will also allow u to keep a few more fish
