Hello everyone. As the title says I have the opportunity to get a free 39 gallon high tank! The tank is saltwater, I have never had a saltwater tank before. I am assuming that the tank comes with all of the neccasary equiment to set up a saltwater tank, as the tank is currently set up with fish in it. The fish in it are 2 damsel fish and a snowflake eel. Will all of these fish be able to live in this tank for life? I don't plan on upgrading the tank, so if the fish will get to large they will be brought to the lfs so that they will have a chance of a better life. If either of the fish has to be taken back to the lfs what would you reccomend I buy to replace it? Something that is easy to care for. When I collect the fish I will have about a 20 minute ride back to the house. What is the best way to transfer the fish? Should I just put them in a 5 gallon bucket? Also the tank looks like it needs a cleaning from the pictures, can I clean the tank the same way that I would clean a freshwater tank, with a sponge on a handle to wipe the sides? Also would the water change schedule be the same as freshwater? And when I replace the water do I have to buy marine salt or can I use the aquarium salt that I already have? Thank you and sorry for all of the questions.
