From fresh to brackish

Post by Suzierd »

Can someone direct me to a step by step guide going from fresh water to brackish? I've read to start with water changes I'm going to change to a larger tank next week and would like to start changing over to brackish. I measure by the gallon. How much salt would I add to a gallon? Going to start with 1/4 of tank water. I currently use aquarium salt which I have now found out is not the same. Thank you.

You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
