after several hours of reading I have come to the point of no return I think my saltwater days are over I have one marine life store near me and have found that they are not any help to me at this point so I think its best for me to sale what I have before I get more in dept with this salt water tank its not as easy to do as thought it would be I stick with my 55 gal freshwater tank that I have had for 10 yrs I know everything to do to it I might try saltwater later but for now i dont think its for me
