Converting my tank to brackish water
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 6:53 am
Hello everyone, I've had my puffer for about 3 days and he's doing well. Eating snails and krill and housed with 4 ghost shrimp that have become mutual friends I suppose til he's bigger.
Anyway to the topic at hand. I purchased him from Walmart, so I started my tank as a freshwater. He is about 1.5" long, and I have him homed in a 20 Gallon marine land tank.
The help I am seeking is how to slowly raise the SG 1.002 a in a change, as in the correct calculation for how many gallons to remove with how many gallons to refill with the correct
amount of salt to balance the tank. I've been putting in a ton of time researching on my puffer and making sure I take care of his needs, but I dont want to leave the calculations to chance
so I figured I would ask for help to get a better idea.
Thanks everyone!
