Converting my F8's to Brackish - Help

Post by Cary »

I've recently brought home 4 Figure 8 Puffers for my 65gal tank.
They are still young, but I'd like to begin the slow change over to Brackish water.

Can someone please tell me:

#1 How much Instant Ocean should I purchase? How long would a 50gal bag last me?
#2 How exactly do I convert to Brackish water. Is there a step by step guide anywhere?

Good for you in finding that! Now I don't have to post the link. ;)
