Reef Aquarium
Can I use my freshwater filter in a reef aquarium?
I’m converting my 10 gallon freshwater aquarium into a reef aquarium, and I was wondering if it would be ok to use the same filter I had in the freshwater as a the reef
There’s no reason to get another filter as long as the one you have is the proper size for the tank (filters 5-10 times the volume per hours, so for a 10 gallon, has a rating of at least 50-100 gallons per hour). You will have to cycle the tank again, as the bacteria from freshwater won’t survive the change to salt. Since you’ll be using live rock (since you specify Reef Tank), you’ll get the bacteria you need from that.
Be aware that 10 gallons is small for a saltwater tank, and you may have problems keeping the temperature and water chemistry consistant since the small volume will allow the temperature to change more quickly, and any evaporation will have a much larger effect than in a tank with more volume.
