Reefing newb
I was running a freshwater tank for several months and was told by the guy at the store that in oder to turn my tank into a saltwater fish only tank all I would need to do was add the salt (instant ocean) in a bucket use a powerhead to mix it and add it like a normal water change until it gets up to 1.020-1.025. This is my first aquarium and untill I upgrade in a few months im going for just fish and my next one will have a reef in it. I was wondering if it was just that simple but was also wondering if it will destroy my existing biological filter and/or if it will need to be cycled again.
P.s. are protein skimmers and reverse osmosis filters only if you have live rock in it?
and also is sand absolutely necesary or will the gravel that is already in it suffice for 2 or so months before i upgrade to a 55 or 70 gallon
