Starting A Brackish Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I used a couple of sites actualy, but yes that was where I got most of my info and all the pics. Im sorry I should have said that. Thank you your right they do deserve the credit. All I did was modify it a little to make it easier to read and made it a bit shorter.
 
I helped write that article & I really think you need to get the author's permission. I see you have watermarked their photos too.

Around 3 tablespoons of marine salt per gallon of water or a specific gravity of 1.010-1.015 will be adequate for the full lives of these fish

As far as my measurements go--it takes roughly a cup of salt/5g to raise the SG by around .005, so 3tbsp/g really isn't going to even register much on the hydrometer.
 
i had a java fern that did pretty well in my brackish for a while. then i got a scat who thought it was a snack and ended up eating the whole thing in about 2 weeks.
 
I am sorry I didnt get the authors permission. I really didnt mean to offend anybody with this thread. I just found that great site and thought I would edit it a bit and share it with you guys. I really am sorry all of you. I just hope this thread helps someone like it did for me.
 
scats are infamous for chewing on all plant matter in tank.lol.
 
Why would they die?
