Reef Aquarium Set-up

Anyone tell me to set up 20 gallion reef, fish aquarium ?

i wanna know wat things i require to set up the reef aquarium in which i want to keep fishes, snails etc. I live in Delhi (India's capital) and i did not found any salt water fish tanks here thats why i am asking this?

Welcome to the beginning of a wonderful new advancement into the world of marine aquariums. I envy you, I do not have one though I've maintained them on several occasions and have found a reliable link for you to follow.

One thing I must remind you of is the potency of Chelatted copper suphate and reef rocks. If you have ever used Copper in your aquarium you may be already destined to fail. I've heard through the grapevine only of people using aquariums which were once in working order for a freshwater setup where copper was added to treat ich... this later turned out to kill their 100lbs of reef. Just a note... might something to take into consideration.

You will need!
1)a 40-60 gallon tank! (sorry I know you have a 20)
2)You will need a actinic lamp or a comparable light (expensive, light is very important growing ROCKS! cant cheap out on this!!)
3)2 bags of "Sandy" grade substrate 20 kilos
4) a mix of marine salt (find this at any petstore if you dont have petstores you're screwed)
5) Rocks!!!!! (Have your tanks prepared, conditioned/cycled before you even buy this!!)
6)Hydrometer (looks like a plastic thing with lots of numbers and a swinging arm) Used to measure the specific gravity of your water.
7)Small school of molly fish (conditioning purposes)
8)Marine Master Water Test Kit
Put the sand in the aquarium, fill it with TREATED dechlorinated water. This can NOT come from freshwater tanks. You want water not germs (someone has done this to me before).
Place the molly fish into the water and start to add salt.

Over a span of 4 weeks you will wish to obtain a specific gravity (by adding salt) to read out to 1.025 on the hydrometer.

Test your water levels.

Then go buy your rocks and put them in

Then you move your rocks around

clean the tank... (do this so often... yeah you're done now)
