My little guy is doing well, he is about 1”, he ate and is exploring his new home. Tank salinity is currently at 1.005 and I am wondering what the process should look like to increase up to a full salt water tank? He is currently in a 20gal. How often should salinity be increased and at what rate? Thank you!New GSP - How to raise salinity from brackish to saltwater
