Hello, I have many freshwater tanks up an running for about 8 years, I have exceptional experience with freshwater fish. But I think that I am ready to advance to a salt water tank! The reason why I write here, I have allot of conflicting information about conversions.... But I will give you my stats now,
80 Gallon Hagen fish tank w/ aquaglow lighting single light bar,
Magnum 250 Deluxe and have available another aquaclear 300.
200 W Ebo Jager
Substrate: gravel and sand
Water is stable and has been for the past 8 years.
Cichlids with no illness.
*** Converting because my fish outgrew that tank and now is empty FINALLY after three years!! And, now have been transfered to the 168 gallon
I want to make this environment as strong and healthy as possible and the best environment possible.
So, my questions....
1. Is my hardware adequate- what do take away, change or add.
2. Added hardward required from lighting to substrate,
3. living environment
4. I want a very low maintenance crew, no exotics--just hardi fish.
5. What surprises should I be prepared for...unplanned babies...illnesses - because I am four hours from the nearest pet store...
All of your advice on the forum or email would be greatly appreciated. I don't care how long this takes, as long as I do it right.
Thanks
