Making Tank BW
I am making my tank BW for my F8 puffers. What do you think of the tank? Right now the SG is at .002.

Re: Making Tank BW
The tank looks beautiful!!
You only need 1.003 SG, so one more weekly water change to increase that by .01 to go.
I'd skip on wood, wood deteriorates in brackish.

Holy wow that is a seriously attractive tank.
There's a thread laying around where people posted pictures of their display tanks, you should add it there
I keep my F8s salinity at 1.005

That's a really lovely tank! Your F8s should be very very happy in there.

Re: Making Tank BW
Lovely tank but looks very difficult to keep clean. Lots of places for excess food & poop to hide out in the substrate, so everything on the bottom has to be moved to clean.
