I am new to marine fish keeping, has some experiance in tropical fresh water fish keeping. I received a new tank as a present from someone. he told me it is a "brakwater" tank. Only one fish in it - no idea what it is called. I feed this with blood worms.

My question is; is there a differance between marine and a "brakwater" tank? Can I convert this tank into a marine tank?

Sorry for the basic questions, but I know nothing about this, and is keen to learn.
 
Hello and yes, there is a difference.

Brakwater or more correctly said salty freshwater. Lagoon type salanity. There are some fishes you an keep. But not the "normal" lifectock available at Pet Shops.

I would rather convert to true salt. Options are a lot more then.

What filter system?

Thank you everybody for all your advise and help. Let us start at the beginning. What type of filtration system would you recommend? Is a sump filter adequate?
