starting a salt water aquarum

[kman1985]

I need some help with starting a salt water aquarium. I have the protein skimer and the heater. i have a 60 gallon tank and i was wondering what are some good products to buy?

That's a broad question to ask... It depends on how many fish you want to keep, how much maintenance you want to (have to) do on your tank. If you want to keep corals or fish only. It depends on how much money you want to spend... I really don't know where to start. If you do not know much about keeping saltwater fish, then that would be the place to start. There are many threads, stickies and books which will teach you the basics. You need to know about the nitrogen cycle. What types of fish are compatible with each other. Proper acclimation and quaranteen techniques and more. Simply asking what I should buy doesn't really tell us much.

My first suggestion is to learn a little about the hobby before you jump right in.
The Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner is a great way to do that.
