Saltwater Kits & Basic Equipments:
- Tank: A bigger tank is often better, as it will be more stable and easier to maintain. A 40 gallon or more is recommended for beginners. A "sump" below the tank is a good option and to get this one need to purchase a tank with built-in-drain.
- Light: A saltwater light of usually 3-5 watts per gallon is used for starter tanks. If a tank with reef systems that have various corals will require more powerful lighting.
