Question 2

[billysgirl4e]

(Sorry about the seperate posts, but I tend to ramble on...and switch topics like a butterfly...it was another TPF member's idea, for clarity purposes):

Anyway, Question 2:

I've never had high end brackish/marine before. When the (gsp) brackish tank gets to that salinity, is it necessary to have a different filter or a protein skimmer or anything normally associated w/ marine tanks? Right now I have pretty much a freshwater set-up w/ a Whisper 60g filter, and coral substrate...typical freshwater decorations. Thanks for any info you can give. (I check levels every couple of days).

Yes, one of the reasons we suggest going marine with these fish is because you can have better functioning filtration with live rock & a protein skimmer, at around 1.018.

That, and it's a lot cheaper in terms of salt, as marine tanks generally have more extensive filtration (if using live rock), and (usually) require less water changes.
