Setting Up Small Marine Tank Questions!

[connorsbala]

I have a tropical fish tank at the moment and will soon be upgrading.Anyway, i am really interested in a small 48litre marine tank (on ebay click link here)http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150069608656&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=150071740848&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget
So, would i be able to use this for 2 little clown fish, the orange ones with 3 white stripes.
I just wanted to ask a few questions:
-Do you have to cycle the tank with bacteria or something?
-Are coral hard to keep alive?
-Do you have to add salt monthly?

If you have any other info please post it here!!!
MAny Thanks

The tank you are looking to setup is classed as a nano reef and your best bet would be to have a look in the nano section. There is a good sticky at the top of the page which guides you through the process of setting up, cycling and stocking.

Also check out some of the journal threads in there to see what your in for. I'm setting up a 70L tank at the moment and there is a link to my journal in my sig.
