Hi everyone. I've been keeping tropical fish for the past 7 years & have always wanted to try my hand at marines. As luck would have it my cousin has passed on his tank to me :). Tank measures 90 X 45 X 60 with a built in sump at the back. along with it i got a heater, protein skimmer, air pump & 2 pumps. That much i know. i would like to get started as soon as possible so guys pleeeeeeas help. thanx
 
Welcome to MASA Farhad :)
what protein skimmer do you have?
fill up the tank using NSW or a good Synthetic mix,add ggod quality LR (fiji is good)
allow the tank to cycle for 4-6weeks before introducing any livestock.
also read to through this thread Starting a Marine Tank - Beginner Discussions helps alot :)

Secondly, please tell us what equipmwent you have - if you can, it can make quite a difference to how we can help, the more we know, the better.
Thirdly, start reading, then ask questions and then read some more:)

this is fantastic hobby, but to get the best from it, you really need to understand your system, and how to look after it.

All the best, Mike.
