Could one of my new learned friends tell me what the conversion rate is for a 66ltr tank I want to convert to brackish
I need retraining used to have full marine but cannot remember how to do it for the life of me .

Are you going to raise it with the fish in or out? Is the tank fully cycled yet? For a gsp you are better off starting out marine with live rock and a decent skimmer then drop acclimating the puffer over a few hours.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Thanks for the reply guys
I am raising the sg gradually over the next few months with fish in .
he came from slightly brackish in the Lfs which I tested on site and adjusted my tank to suit
Have just purchased a new tank and led light and will be rehousing him in his new home next week
New gsp is feeding well and no glass surfing so all good :D
