Setting up salt tank

Question
Do you know anyone that has set up a hexagon aquarium as a saltwater tank? If so how would you go about doing it? I have a 15 gal hex and am not sure how to get it set up to start a tank. Any answer would be helpful at this point, thank you

Answer
Hi Michelle,

    I personally have not set up any tank but a rectangular one. The hex sounds very nice and I think would be attractive but I don't know about the shape affecting circulation, aeration, etc. Go to www.about.com home page and click on "hobbies and games". Next page find "saltwater aquariums" on the lower left of the page and you will come to the site run by stan and debbie hauter. Take the saltwater 101 course on line and start reading all the interesting articles. Any trouble finding the site, let me know. Good luck and be patient. Gerry.
