Hi to all in here, I am first timer to Aquariums. I bought a corner aquarium 69 Gallons. I am interested in setting a SaltWater aquarium. Dont care for live Corals, just the fishes, looking at having about 3 fishes in there. What do I need to get for this setup. Thanks in advance for the advice.

If you PM me will be nice

Does this mean that you never even had some lil goldfish,fighter or guppy?
if this is the case, i dont think you should start with a saltwater tank. put some freshwater fish first to get the feel of it an then gradually move on. jus my 2cents

[rossi]

Where do you fellas get exotic freshwater fish?

[nsingh_tt]

HondaB20B....
Never....I was going for Freshwater first, but after seeing those saltwater fishes, I was they so nice and pretty, if can find freshwater like that i will do fresh water. But dont want to spend buying filters and stuff for Freshwater system and then have to get rid of those and buy new stuff for the saltwater, if can do saltwater one time will prefer do that...

[HondaB20B]

not trying to discourage you pal but if you dont have simple knowledge about fresh......... salt aint easy pal.

[sharkman121]

nsingh_tt, i think the best way for you to start would be to do alot alot alott of reading and research first. Join reefcentral.com they have lots of great articles for starting out.

[HondaB20B]

Think you need to go back to maybe pages #50 i this pot and start to read. there are alot of interesting posts and articles that myself and alot of other fishmen posted. Ive had freshwater fish over 30 yrs now and that was a task. into salt nearly 2yrs now and its a whole new ballgame. much more things to see about and take care off. I have some Kois and they real easy to take care off...... i just feed them and change d water every 2 mths or so.
my saltwater tanks is like having a child full time. things change all d time. the first few mths of the tank is d hardest, about a year after is smooth sailng................BUT.................. its a big investment when you get hooked....................... ask sharkman, ryan, fishman etc.
with me, i just tell my wife i got it at a great deal..........lol

Have been, reading saw that need all sorts of stuff like, heaters/chillers/skimmers etc.
But I was talkin to a guy at NU Image and he said due my aquarium being small (69 Gal) and I not putting live coral just 2-3 fishes. I just need a good filter system(canister filter and a proper saltwater mix. no need for the chillers and stuff.

what are some off the nice fresh water fish to look as pretty as the saltwater ones

[sharkman121]

the hobby is addicting and when u start u will want to upgrade...best u get good stuff one time. I had a 69 gal also with a canister filter. Now i have a 140 gal with a sump and reef octopus protein skimmer. U can have more fishes in the 69 gal if u wish, no need for just 2 or 3.

[HondaB20B]

[HondaB20B]

first ting first................ nsingh_tt, what part of trini you from

[nsingh_tt]

I from Chag, rite now I going very small, I have the corner aquarium 69 Gals dont have space for anything bigger and if i go bigger in future will get cuss from mother ..so for the time being would the canister filter and the saltwater mix be enough for the small setup I looking at? I willing to call or sit with any of you who got the experience to guide me. I planning on meeting Raj from tunapuna later

This is what I have, thats why I say about 3 fishes no live coral or plants

[allan]
