Re: how to setup a saltwater tank?

You'll need marine salt to prepare the saltwater so don't use rock salt.

A large tank is recommend for saltwater aquariums because the larger the tank the less your water parameters will fluctuate. You could use your 10 gal. for a saltwater tank but you'd need to pay close attention to the water quality.

Check out the Saltwater beginners guide for more info
