Converting to brackish tomorrow

[xvCODY]

I'm pretty stoked. My LFS has pretty high prices on their mixed SW but it's made with RO water and mixed a few days ahead of time.

Do you plan on just adding SW to to the tank to make it brackish?

[xvCODY]

I've already done the math and determined the amount of pure SW to raise my SG by .002 every time. It's something like 8ml of 1 gallon of salt water is 1.002sg so 16ml (whatever the exact measurement is) to raise the SG with a 50% WC

Glad your good at math LOL, I would fail horribly at that

[xvCODY]

It was a weee bit confusing. lol. I have a whole page in my notebook just for the conversion and stuff.

I used that formula, plus my own.

Updates?

So far sitting at 1.004. Gonna do another WC Sunday and raise the SG again. Smudge is doing quite well, so are my BBGs. Their colors are great and they're really active. Everything is going great!

That's good! Do you have pictures by chance?

Hmm, i replied to this a couple of days ago but i guess i forgot to hit "Submit" haha. I've had a bit of a nasty cold the past few days so i've been lacking on this weeks WC. I did one today though and i'll snap some pictures of Smudge tomorrow and have them uploaded in the afternoon. I'll make sure to feed him first so he's extra vibrant. =D

COdy could have been cause of the forum screw up

[xvCODY]

That's what i was thinking. I usually sit here until the page says "Reply submit complete" or whatever it really says. Oh well. It's posted now. haha
