Sorry I can't help ya I don't know anything about salt (or much else really) :D

Might pay to go to the salty's section and quiz them about it, probably should have a beginners section within the salty's section :unsure:

Ok, First you will need a Protein Skimmer (Skims the water and takes out the proteins and crap in the water), Lighting (depends if you want to keep corals or not), filter...cannister is ok for a small tank (new filter media, i got coral sand, sponge, sea chem Matrix, and some other stuff), a power head for circulation in the water, coral sand or marble sand, liverock (the rock stucture in a reef tank and used to start your cycling in your tank). I think thats all.
