I’m switching to saltwater?

I’ve been keeping freshwater fish for about 4 years now, and I’m finally going to try to keep a saltwater tank. I’m going to be buying a 90 gallon tank and am thinking about getting one yellow head moray eel to go in it. I’ve read that these are very hardy fish. Do you think a 90 gallon is big enough? I don’t plan on putting any other fish in it besides the eel, although someone told me that cleaner shrimp make great tankmates for morays.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.

How do I treat my fish for ich?

I have a 30 gallon freshwater community tank consisted of 10 rasboras, 3 cories, 2 rainbowfish, 2 german rams, 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 oto, and 20 ghost shrimp. The tank is moderately planted. I noticed that my German Ram has several white spots on its fins, which appear to be ich. How can I treat the tank, or the infected fish, without harming the sensitive fish, plants or invertebrates?

Can I use a 5 gallon critter keeper for freshwater shrimp?

It’s one of those plastic critter keeper tanks for reptiles. Would it work? The water temp. will be 70-75F and there will be a filter mounted on the side. Would that work?
It looks like this:

Except the one I have is 5 gallons
Wait the point of my question was to ask if the plastic tank would work.
