What equipment is needed for a saltwater aquarium?
I have a freshwater aquarium right now and would like to switch it eventually to a small saltwater aquarium. My tank is 10 gallons so I was planning on only getting one clown fish with a starfish or shrimp. I have a heater, an out of the tank filter, and thermometer. Is a protein skimmer and an air pump also necessary? Also my tank light is quite old and doesn’t have the wattage on it, so should i assume that I would need to upgrade the cover on my aquarium?
a 10 gallon saltwater are for experts, beginners shouldnt start with smaller tanks because the smaller you go the harder it will be, as a 10 gallon will have water parameters that litteray will chan ge daily.
You wont need a protein skimmer on a 10 gallon but they have nano ones that are better than nothing.
Even though a single clownfish in a 10 gallon isnt much, the water parameters will kill most beginner saltwater keepers.
