Give the canister filter a quick cleaning to get the dirt
out, but leave the beneficial bacteria in (it will cycle
faster)Then flush with aquarium water if you used
chlorinated water to clean. Get rid of the water and
gravel. Put a calcium sand in the bottom of the tank, and
add salt water. After 24 hours you can add some live rock.
You will also need a hydrometer. You will eventualy want
to get a protein skimmer.

how would i go about converting my tropical tank to a marine tank, i
want to keep fish and invertibrates (i think) or would you recomend a
learner's setup to get my hand in with marine environments.

i have currently tank approx 4"x2"x2" on a fairly large cabinet, it is
open topped with a suspended light(which will need replacing as it is
not big enough for tank) heater and external cannister filter.

could any one give me a list of items i will need and also items that
are not essential but help

many thanks
