Hi guys
I have 2 puffers (White spot Toadfish and a banded toadfish) currently in a brackish water tank. With the following parameters.
Ph 7.4
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
SG 1.019
..and i have been cycling a saltwater tank. nitrite is still a little high, waiting for it to go down a bit and i will start moving the fishes. Parameters are:
Ph 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 1.0
Nitrate 40
SG 1.021
Im just wondering that there is a bit of a gap on both the ph's. What is the best way to acclimatise the puffers into the new saltwater tank.. im thinking of the drip method? any other ways? if not how long should i be doing this drip method for?
Also, for a FOWLR tank what is the max. acceptable nitrate reading?
thanks!!!

Drip method is correct.
