I'm reading a lot on saltwater fish tanks and I'm excited about starting my tank. I have a couple of questions and hope you all can help me out.
1) What's the smallest tank I can use? Is it unreasonable to have a 10 gallon salt water tank?
2) Water changes. If you cycle the water for 4-6 weeks, or if you've had your tank running for years, I assume you don't just mix salt and water in a bucket and dump it into your tank. So how do you make the water you're putting in (change water) as good as the water your taking out?
I know I'm missing some details, please help.
Just so you all know, while I'm excited about starting the tank I am not rushing into it. The last thing I want are fish poping up dead in my tank. Doing things right takes patience - and good advice
Thank You!
