hi i have a JEBO 38L tank,
its currently holding 5 freshwater tropical fish,
but im in about a month or 2 i will be purchasing a 250-400L Saltwater tank,
still contemplating the size and geting quotes b4 i do anything.
now im thinking of changing my 38L JEBO tank to salt water aswell,
what do u guys think i should do? hold it or change it?
either way.. i know i need live rock, coral sand, and obviously salt water,
if there is anything else i might need could someone please let me know?
and i also need to know how much of rock, sand etc... would i need?
thanx hope u guys can help me make my decision and answere my questions.

Welcome to fishlore! That is a big change, I am NOT a saltwater person, mainly because of the cost and amount of fuss with it all, but I am sure you will find answers here. Good luck!

COBettaCouple

did you check the link sgould posted?

mishstyle

ye thanx for the links and all the help
i decided im just gona keep the FW since its only a 40L tank howeva many galons that is hehe.. im from australia by the way so ye..
but im buying a SW tank, roughly 250-400L
so i guess ill have 1 of each which should be pretty interesting,
the only reason that im going SW in the big tank is because its gona be in the living room, and i think bright fish would be a better feature n stand out more.
thanx for the help again guys
