I want to start a fish-only tank. It is small, only 20 gallons, and it used to be a freshwater goldfish tank. I have never had a fish-only marine tank, I have heard that they are different from reef tanks, so I have a couple of questions.
Should I add any live rock to it? If so, how much and what kind (Florida or Fiji, etc) do you suggest?
Do fish-only tanks require special lighting as do reef tanks?
Also, I have never converted a freshwater tank to a saltwater tank, but since I plan to use the same filters and water, how long would you expect the water to cycle again for my new fish?
I know these seem like dumb questions, but any help you can give me is greatly appreciated!
