thinking of switching to saltwater again

[PrettyBoy]

ok guys ive been out the game for quite some time but im considering in turning my 20g high into a simple little saltwater tank nothing too big but i need a bit of help i need to find out the cheapest way to set this up. all i want is sand a few rocks and maybe danios and clowns but i have a aquaclear filter please give me some suggestions

 

[dubs]

do it u will be happy when its up and running there is one thing tho as far as been cheap in the sw hobby there is no such thing even if u had pico or a nano it still cost to run +the animals u put in it

1 way to save a few bucks buy used stuff and rock and sand from members on here ect....

shouldn't bend corners in this hobby, it cost alot to maitain. In a 20 gal tank, wouldn't put too much fish in there, you can do a small nano reef tank, just get yourself a good light. Aquaclear +live rock+sand+filter medias will work, I tried it on my first reef tank for 3 years. worked fine.

how much lighting do you think i need, and how can prevent getting that sea smell in my room

the sea smell can always be removed from carbon, but dont leave your carbon in the filter for too long. Light, depends on what kind of corals you want, if you're a beginner, do LPS/Softies, t-5 will do the trick, make sure you don't use tap water.
