Thanks for the insight. I don't know if I should try and sell my current tank and everything I have for it and start fresh or keep the tank and swap it to saltwater. I like the size. My tank was setup has saltwater with the previous owner. And would assume the lights will work.
I would like to get the cycles going to get the water where it needs to be for adding wish so if you have any addvice on this please let me know. And if you know any where I can get supplies for cheap that would help also. Thanks for the feed back everyone.

if you are sure that no copper has been added to your tank another option would be to use it as your sump and buy a larger tank that you could use as your display tank....you will want a larger tank about 5 seconds after you are happy with you salt water tank anyhow

lol
ya that would be a good idea but i dont have room for a bigger tank unless i get a corner unit that is tall. so i will have to be happy with what i got till i buy my own house and have more room for something bigger lol.
And i'm just wondering about the copper thing.. how do you know if you have copper in your tank? i have never added any scince i've owned it which has been 2 years.. thanks

second thing is how quiet it is How easy to clean (if you will need to spend more then a minute to get the cup off of the skimmer you will neglect it) then the price basically anything that is less then $500 retail is arguably useless

I had no problem starting out in saltwater using a old freshwater aquarium, although the one thing i did regret was not knowing about getting a tank drilled to have an overflow built in instead of using a siphon over flow = prone to flooding many times
 Set a budget of what you can spend and then shop around and price out what you can afford and what style of tank your ultimate goal is

selling
Ya i was trying to sell it at one point but i never had anyone who was extremly intrested. and i dont think i will get that much for it and then i will be in the same place anyways thats why i was trying to just turn it over and make it saltwater.
and has for having in drilled, I seen a video on utube of a guy setting up a 90g tank and he had a built in overflow box set up in the back of his tank. and it seemed to do the job with no problems. so ya. but what do i need to just get started? i know i need a skimmer, and my rock. someone also said to have a powerhead. thanks for all the help everyone.....
