Answer 2

You need salt, either real sea salt (like red sea) or synthetic like instant ocean.  You also need a good dechlor/conditioner like Aquanova+ ($6-$12 per bottle).  the salt for a 20# bag of synthetic is roughly$22  Red sea salt is roughly $35-40 for the same 20#.  Depending on where you live.

You need a hydrometer to test the salinity.  I am assuming you know about filter heater thermometer etc.

Not sure what size tank you are getting so the costs will vary.

Remember you still need to cycle.  Additions questions problems feel free to email

Answer 3

ok, first off, you need to decide what kind of saltwater tank you&#039;re going to do, are you going to do a fish only tank.....fish only with live rock.....or a reef tank. The difference in price between the 3 is huge. since this is your first tank, i suggest you only do fish, you should probably get an eclipse tank, because it already has the light and filter built into the hood.  you&#039;re going to need a heater, sand and rocks, you&#039;re going to buy instant ocean salt and some water conditioner!  and don&#039;t just go into the fish store and pick any fish either, some fish are a lot easier to keep alive than others!  depending on the size of tank you get...i&#039;d say be ready to spend anywhere from 100-400 bucks
