Freshwater to Saltwater

[oldjonah]

I have a Jewel 260 tank with the original light unit but have removed the internal filter and changed for a Fluval 304 external. Can someone please list the items I would need to convert to marine and if known the best place to get them.

I plan on having living rock, some invertabrate and obviously some fish...suggestions would be very welcome.


Thanks

Sam

A 260 is a nice sized tank for starters

Here is a list of the things i would recomend you get.

Skimmer
Liverock,
Aragonite Sand
Upgrade lighting (if wanting a reef setup)
tests kits for Ammonia, nitrite, nnitrate, PH
Powerheads that will make a flow in the tank to a minimum of 2600 ltrs per hour
good quality salt
RO Unit is prefferable
Hydrometer (or better still, a refractometer)

Advise a UV filter also
