The Hermit Crab

salt water aquarium care?

ok, i want to make a salt water aquarium…well i wouldn’t say aquarium, i have a standard fishbowl. all i want to have in it is like a hermit crab or something very small. i just want to see how it goes, can anyone help me on what to do to make this standard fishbowl into a little saltwater aquarium??? i have experience in aquariums, i have a 55 gallon freshwater at the moment. so any offer for help accepted!

Hey
i wouldn’t put saltwater in a fishbowl. Smaller the tank it is the harder it is to look after. How ever if your really keen on doing it i would keep 3 times as much salt water as what can fit in the bowl. For water changes because you will be doing at lot of water changes to keep the fishbowl good. My advise if you want to do a salt water tank getbiggestgst tank u can get.I had a 55g tank set up for 3 years just gradinging to a 200g tank so much easyer.
