Hi all,

I have a 5x2.5x2.5 tank (w OHF) which I used to keep freshwater fishes at the moment, I'd like to find out whether and how it can be converted to a marine tank? i.e. for the filteration part, what type of external filteration is available ?

Thanks in advance.

you may wish to check the thickness of the tank and if the gluing of the sides are strong as the amount of liverocks and the salt water would add a great more weight to your 5' tank than you can imagine ;) 12mm or more would be great...

...what are u missing from your life?... dun wait till your last breathe before telling them that you care

You can't use your Overhead Filter. You need all the space for lighting.

Suggestions: Get an external overflow box/sump config if there is no way you can drill and install an internal overflow box.

A not so efficient external filtration method is using canister filters.
