Tips :

Setting up a saltwater fish tank the simple way is easy. All you need is at least a thirty gallon tank , an undergravel filter " Lees makes a good one" you tie all the plates together and make it one plate.
Next you  get you some crushed corral for your bed, and wash it good with just fresh water. Place your washed crushed corral onto your undergravel filter at about a two inch depth , or figure about one pound of crushed corral per gallon of tank. Next put in the number of power heads that you have up tubes for.
A good power head to use is Maxi-Jet 500 , these are good and usually trouble free and give you years of use.
Then fill up your tank with fresh water and put in a chlorine remover , I like to use a product called Prime.Use Prime at three drops per gallon.
Next you want to mix your salt,I will use Instant Ocean, salt mix,"Don't follow the instructions on the bag" Use a hydromemter to measure the amount of salt you are putting in your water."Hint , your salt has to dissolve first before you can measure it".You want to set your salt level at 1.018 or 1.019 or 1.020 this is a good specific gravity ,you will see this as (sp) from now on it just means ,how much salt you put into your tank. As you adjust your sp buy adding salt if you dont have enough in your tank or taking out saltwater and adding fresh water to your tank as needed. take a couple of days to do this ,don't get in a hurry,dot get in a hurry about anything to do with saltwater....After you have your tanks sp set,you are ready to put some Damsel fish into your tank,go ahead and put five or six or more depending on the size of your tank to cycle your tank.
For the next six to eight weeks your tank will cycle and grow the bacteria it needs to support life.
What I have told you here is very basic and there is more than one way to do saltwater tanks,but the old way works.This will get you started and I will cover more later, If you want more information about the set up or want me to explain more just e-mail me and I will.
