Your saltwater and freshwater requirements will be different, depending what you want to put in your saltwater tank. You can cycle your saltwater tank with molly, then move molly back to freshwater but drip acclimate so it doesn't go into shock moving back.

Yes, your saltwater tank will need to cycle. This might be someplace to start with saltwater, if you haven't come across this R2R article yet in your searches:

I want my fish to have a good life what fish can I have in the tank - AIM FOR 6-8 SMALLER SIZE SPECIES SUCH AS GOBY, BLENNY, ANTHIAS, DWARF ANGEL AND SMALLER WRASSE

It is nice if the fish have equal requirement as pH temperature mineral rich poor water
RO WATER IS RECOMMENDED AS IS A GOOD TEST KIT. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING API TEST KITS

2. Is sand the recommend substrate- SAND IS BEST. YOU DONT WANT TOO FINE OR TOO COARSE

3. I consider plants rocks cave for my fish anything to recommend - GO AS NATURAL AS POSSIBLE. PLASTIC PLANTS NOT RECOMMENDED

4. Aquarium used regularly with healthy fish do I need to cycle - CYCLING IS A MUST TO GET YOUR SYSTEM STARTED. USE A RELAIBLE FORM OF LIQUID BACTERIA TO HELP THE TANK GET SEEDED

2. Aquarium 350 l 92.4602183 US gallons - NICE SIZE TANK

1. I have chiclids with molly platys goldfish malle angelfish blue acara Neon tetra my betta live in it to
He is not agrresive the goldfish do not hurt him

2. You recommend

A. Every fish in the tank - IF THEY ARE GETTING ALONG, DO NOT DISRUPT IT
B. Every chiclid in the tank THE ACARA IS A SMALLER PEACEFUL SPECIES.
C. Every other fish not betta BETTA IS ACTUALLY A GOOD COMMUNITY FISH. THEY ARE OFTEN PICKED ON BECAUSE OF THEIR LONG FINS

  1. Aquarium/Tank
    You need to decide where you want to put your aquarium, determine what size you want or may only have room for, whether you want an acrylic or glass tank, and choose a style that will best fit into the spot you have picked out to display it.
  2. Lighting
    The type of lighting you choose will be based on the type of system you have planned to set up, as well as what kind of livestock you will be keeping in it.
  3. Skimmers, Filters & Filtration Equipment
    Once again, what type of system you are going to set up will help you determine which kind of filters and filtration system to choose.
  4. Powerhead
    Depending on the size of your aquarium, the use of one or several powerheads is an excellent way to provide good water circulation throughout the system.
  5. Live Rock & Substrate
    Here you need to decide on what type of material you want on the bottom of the tank, as well as whether you want to start with a live or non-living medium. Live Rock plays an important role in a marine tank. Many marine animals, fish in particular, can be quite territorial. It is important to provide ample shelter or places where the animals can hide, sleep, and avoid potential problems with aggression from other tankmates in the confined space of an aquarium.
  6. Sea Salt Mix/Saltwater & Hydrometer
    Sea salts are what make an aquarium a saltwater or marine aquarium. Also referred to as a salinity tester, this item measures the specific gravity or salt content of the water.
  7. Heater & Thermometer
    For smaller aquariums one heater works well, but for larger systems the use of multiple units is advised. With stick-on, floating, multi-function remote digital sensor, and many other types of units to pick from, the material a thermometer is made of is an important factor when choosing one as well.
  8. Air Pump & Air Stones
    Only needed if you are going to run a piece of equipment that requires these items, such as a counter-current protein skimmer.
  9. Test Kits, Additives & Supplements
    For live rock and reef tank systems, calcium (a.k.a. limewater/kalkwasser) needs to be added. Other supplemental vitamins or additives that are beneficial to the health of certain marine inhabitants you may be keeping, such a iodine for crustaceans, are important as well.
  10. Maintenance Tools & Supplies
    This category includes having items on hand such as a various sized plastic buckets or containers, tank cleaning tools such as a siphon tube/hose, an algae scraper or magnet, as well as nets of different sizes, spare equipment replacements parts, and so on. A good way to keep track of what maintenance tasks you have preformed and when is to keep a log book or record of everything you do.

I’m very confused as to what you’re asking…
