The setting up of salt water fish tanks is a very identical process to that involved in starting any aquarium tank. You have to follow certain rules or you will risk hurting your new pets. If you are starting a fish tank afresh you can add in all the species of fish you have bought at the same time.

If you happen to be getting new fish locally it pays to check if they are swimming in local tap water. If they are you can then set up your brand new salt water fish tanks using the same supply of water. Or else you will have some additional work on your hands.

When setting up the aquarium be mindful how you load it with water. You should not just throw the water into the tank particularly if you have already added in sand or tiny rocks to the base as it will displace it. You may load it using a hosepipe turned onto the trickle mode but it is better to use a gauging jug or bucket so you have the water measurements right. Adding the water in slowly also allows you a better chance to handle a leak should one occur.

Do not add many decorations or rocks to your new tank. Fish need room to move and explore and this won't be possible should you have made it look like an overgrown marine jungle. You also need to leave enough space for heaters and filtration devices and their wires and cables.

If you closely refer to the manual on how to set up salt water fish tanks you shouldn't run into too many troubles.
