I am planning on getting my 29 gallon set up. I don't think it will be a reef, but will have live rock and sand in it. will house a snowflake eel (I know.......) Would this be good enough to keep t good?
-Fuval Multi-stage FilterFulval MSF 204 filter 180 GPH
-Power Sweep 214 or Penguin Powerhead
- Prizm skimmer
-Already have a heater from my freshwater tank
Is this all the equipment I need? Am I missing anything? What about air? Do you need to buy a pump too (that wouldn't be a problem) Would a hang-on filter from a freshwater tank work with the saltwater set-up? THanks for the replies-

Well, you might want to look into a skimmer. Given the fact you will be feeding a messy eater and doing it often. You'll need one to get all that nutrient build up out of your water.
Those sweeping powerheads are a great idea, BUT they will mess up after a short time in saltwater. It will still pump ewater. It's just that it will stop swinging. So you might just want to go ahead and get a regular powerhead and save yourself a little money.<a href="http://hometown.aol.com/flmeangl44/index.html" target="_blank">CLICK HERE TO SEE MY REEF.</a>
