Setting up a Saltwater Fish Tank

To setup a saltwater fish tank remember to purchase a quality saltwater filter and saltwater hydrometer to accurately measure the level of salt water. To much or too little salt water should be the primary concern as it can kill your saltwater fish. Many pet stores provide saltwater fish tanks setup kits. Remember that proper lighting is important if you want to enjoy your fish tank.

Keep the saltwater level between 1.020 and 1.023 on the hydrometer and let the system cycle for a few days before adding fish. If at first you do not succeed, try, try again.
