Hi Everyone, recently upgraded my cichlid tank from a 29G to a 60G as it was getting fairly crowded. Live in north Plano, finally got bank into keeping an aquarium about six months ago and love having a tank again! It's cool having a forum to bounce ideas around, glad whoever got this started decided to do it!

You've come to a good place. There are some great people on here and we're all willing to answer questions that you have. My recommendation is to start a build thread and pose your questions there and we can address each as you have them. Don't be afraid to ask we all started where you're at. Smile

Any suggestions? I have rocks, but need a descent filter that is less maintenance and quiet. I'm looking to add fish like Clowns. I am doing this for my kids. lol

By the way.. I found this on Craigslist. So I figured I'd join. Plus, I love aquariums..!!

Thanks!

Welcome aboard!
If you had them rocks in freshwater, I would suggest chunking them and not adding to the salt tank. I'm sure you have medicated or added something to the fresh that will eventually leach into the salt. Best to start everything fresh with salt water, especially if you plan on keeping any kind of shrimp, coral or any delicate fish encluding clown. I would suggest you do a lot of reading before attacking saltwater, it is a great rewarding hobby but you do need to know all about it before diving in. There are lots of good articles out there about salt and lots of good reading, do your research and it will pay big time in the end. Just remember that nothing in freshwater pertains to salt.

If you need help, ask on this forum, lots of good people here willing to assist.

Thanks..!! These rocks came from another salt aquarium. But yes, I've been reading alot these past few years about Salt Water Aquariums. And I have thrown everything out that was in with the freshwater and placed everything from another salt water aquarium.. Again, Thanks for the help!
