I've got a coralife deep six hydrometer. I've got a GSP right now in another tank I've had for about 8 months now. I also wanted to add an archer or two and maybe a few sailfin mollies. i'm currently using 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons.
If that's what the GSP is in now, transfer the fish into the same water. My GSP is at a SG of 1.016-10. I usually use about a cup of salt/5gal. You have a long way to go for that. Just add an extra tbsp/gal every day until your SG goes up to at least 1.012.
Is the new tank cycled?
Is the new tank cycled?
It's at 1.012 right now, and the new tank is at 1.015 cycling right now. I'm using the decomposing fish meat method.
HUH???
throw in a bunch of dead fish meat and you wont get a cycle, just a stinky deadly tank....
In 25 years of keeping fish, I've never heard of anything like this. Could you please describe the process?
I read that using a piece of fish meat and letting it decompose will cycle the tank over a week. It has to be uncooked and unseasoned. It was on a post in general freshwater I think.
