red tail devil

Hi bro Thexder thanks for the explanation, now i understand the significance!

Hi Guys Thank you you all for the support, really appreciate the warm welcome. i will read thru the pinned posts but i think it will take me some time to digest it!!! I understand about the gravel, but not so much about the OHF! Cos my OHF is the 9 box type, even if i use a sump tank wouldn't it be the same? Pls enlighten me, and what would be suitable option.

Hi Fellow-Enthusiats I have been keeping Freshwater fish for many years now, i've always been putting off setting up of a marine tank! So i've finally decided to set up my very own marine tank. I've done some reading on the set up but i normally don't take views from one source only! So if any of you kind souls would care to share any valuable information in setting up a marine tank, please just keep the info coming........ i will be most grateful. Now let me share with you guys what i have to start the setup; 1) 4x1.5x2 (LxWxH) 10mm thickness 2) 9 pcs Filter boxes (4ft OHF) (Q:Whats a good filter media to use for marine set up) 3) Gravel to form abt 3.5 inches in my 4ft tank (thinking of using tis plus sand over it) 4) UV Sterilizer And now my questions; 1) I understand that it may take many weeks to cycle the marine tank, but what media should i start using? 2) Any recommendation for the kind of marine salt i should use? 3) when can i add in the live rocks ok i think i better stop here before i bore every reader to death!!! till next time folks....
