Many freshwater hobbyists are excited about the astonishing variety of colors and saltwater fish and they make the switch or add salt water tanks to their hobby. So many of you ask, "Can I use my fresh water to salt water aquarium?"
The answer is: Yes, you can create your fresh water to salt water aquarium. Their degree of success, but something may depend on the size of your aquarium. For new hobbyists, it is best to start with a larger aquarium of at least 29 gallons. The bigger the aquarium, the more room for learning curves, for example, if the fish are overcrowded or overfed. Larger tanks are awarded more, the temperature fluctuates less, and it takes a long time to critical levels.
If your aquarium has freshwater fish in most shops, your pet fish as trade-ins, or you might want to give to a friend. Once your fish have disappeared, dismantle the entire aquarium clean and all equipment. Wash the aquarium and equipment with hot water. Never use soap or commercial glass cleaner to clean the aquarium or their deliveries. Discard the gravel or wash and save it for later use. A basic salt water aquarium requires only a few pieces of equipment and supplies, as your freshwater aquarium. Purchase an aragonite-based gravel, a good sea salt mix and a hydro meter (to measure how much salt in the water). There is no need to purchase a new filter, as long as it is the correct size for your aquarium and leads all three types of filters: mechanical, chemical and biological.
Finally, make sure that your heater is working properly. If you have a hang-in-heating, you can buy a submersible pumps, which is the easiest-to-set and is recommended for salt water. As long as you opt for fish and invertebrates, which are not of a special lighting your old light just fine. If the bulb is several years old, you can also check to replace him, because a new lamp will brighten up your aquarium.
While these are just basics to get you started, you can now simply salt water decorations and start setting up your salt water aquarium.
