Saltwater Fishing Supplies
how do make a aquarium salt water for saltwater fish and corals
i want to know what supplies i need and how to get aquarium saltwater
To make the water is simply using a 5 gallon bucket, salt and water. Once the salt is dissolved (i like to start with a gallon of hot water to help it along) you can pour it into the tank.
When doing water changes, you will need to do this and check the salinity with a hydrometer to ensure it is where it needs to be.
Equipment
Hydrometer
Thermometer
filter
heater
dolomite/gravel/crushed coral
gravel vac
salt
water
That is basically it. If you are running a larger tank, you may want to think about a protein skimmer.
Corals will need specific lighting depending on the types you decide to get.
They will need to be target fed as well.
May I suggest getting “the reefkeepers bible” to start with.
Salt isn’t quite like fresh but still follows the same basic rules.
Salt in the long run is easier than fresh water to care for and in maintenance.
