Thinking of upgrading my 37 gallon freshwater to saltwater.

Thanks :) I only wish I could rehome the current inhabitants quicker lol I can't get to the lfs till probably the 13th :( (going camping) and of course i found someone selling live rock close by -_- hopefully they'll still have some once I'm ready.

Just ask them if they could hold on to some, they still get a sale in the end of the day.

Well rehomed my fish yesterday and bought this RO system.Whirlpool WHER25 Reverse Osmosis System and WHER25 Water Filter System I wanted a different one that also had DI but my Plumber step dad didn't want to order one online because he wanted a well known brand -_- Anyway I hope this is a good one. I'll hopefully be able to pick up salt and a test kit today when we go into town. Any suggestions on which salt?

Which salt? That will spark a huge debate. I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals, little more expensive than regular IO but has more calcium and additives for corals.

I dont think there are any bad brand of salt out there, i usually buy whatever is cheapest.

Well I bought the instant ocean reef crystals, sand, a hydrometer, and a test kit. :)

Yep, i use Reef crystals, as for the Hydrometer, later on i would invest in a Refractometer to accuratly judge your salinity levels, a hydrometer can be inaccurate, and only lasts about 6 months at best.
