New To Salt

[Tony2099]

Hi, I bean doing freshwater tank for about 20 year now. I will be move soon. So im going to turn my 48 gallon tank to salt. Im think about doing a fish-only or mantis shrimp tank. What would be the best way to get in to salt..The fish-only or mantis shrimp?

Fish only tank. 48 gallons is too large for 1 mantis shrimp. If you want a mantis, a smaller tank like 10 or so gallons would be best. Good luck

If the tank to big for the mantis shrimp. That mean he/she wont break the glass?

There's always a chance, it's best to keep mantis shrimp in acrylic tanks. That's why I didn't do my 10 gallon a mantis tank. You could do a really nice fish only tank though. If you really want a mantis, a 10 or 20 gallon acrylic tank would be best. Good luck!
