I have a Rectangular 120 gallon fish tank that i have oscars in.I am moving them to a 200gallon tank soon and would like to make it into a saltwater tank.What equipment will i need to do this?Could you please give it to me in lamens terms. I want to have live rock in my tank as well.Is there anything else i would need to keep them healthy and alive.How many fish do you think I will be able to keep in there and still keep the fish happy?Will all fish attack the live rock

calcofish,

I am moving your post to another forum. The Feedback & Questions is for feedback on this website and questions about how it works...not tank related questions.

I think based on what I am reading, you are very new at saltwater so I will move this to the New to the Hobby forum. You should spend a lot of time in there reading articles and talking to folks before you take the 200 gallon plunge. That's a big tank for a newbie.

I have a 120-gallon reef and before I set it up, researched and read everything I could for a year. This is not unusual when it comes to the preperation for setting up a reef. And, I've kept freshwater aquariums since I was five years old.

There are a lot of ways to manage a reef, and you owe it to yourself and to the success of the reef, to become familiar with them before you chose which is best for your situation.

Start here...but keep going:

There's a ton of things to know and you'd be making a mistake if you don't take it slowly. Good luck.
