Question
what kind of filters do i need to start a saltwater tank?

Answer

Hello,

this would depend on how big your tank is.  I like to filter 3 times the tanks volume (per hour).  Also it depends on what your budget is as well.  But Aqua clear and fluval make great filters.  Aqua clear is a hang-on type which does a great job.  Fluvals make a canister filter which are a bit pricey. I have an Aqua clear model 300 and a fluval 404 for my 55 gallon tanks.

Try going on DrsFosterSmith.com they have good prices.
Good luck
Todd
