Is there any special equipment to start saltwater fish tanks?
Yes, there is. Everything in saltwater tank is special. You need special equipment, because for example in freshwater tanks the equipment don’t have to be protected from too much minerals as it’s in saltwater tanks. Moreover, equipment in marine aquariums must not contain any metal which is connected directly with water. Another aspect of difference is that you need better filtration to remove all excrements from the salt water tank (excrements which you see, but also those which you can’t see). Also you need an aquarium chiller and heater, so you can keep the temperature very stable. In order to keep it stable, placing isolation materials around the tank helps too. The light is almost the same as in freshwater aquarium, but it has to be isolated from the water. So you need some cover which will protect the bulbs from evaporated water.
