so here's the plan.
i have a 50g (36x15x20) low-tech planted tank. (t5no lighting, 3 stage wet/dry set up at 10X hr)
i want to convert it to brackish.
i'm going to be attempting a planted brackish tank. i think i've got what plants to use figured out, mainly low-light stuff. keeping with the low-tech theme, i'm going to be using mineralized topsoil capped with aragonite. that should work, right?
i also need a little help with stocking. i was thinking figure 8 puffers and bumblebee gobies. will the puffers leave them alone? just 2 puffers? what about knight gobies with the others mentioned? how about some other stocking suggestions?
there doesn't seem to be a whole of info out there on planted planted brackish tanks so i'm hoping some of you guys might have some insight.
i found these two pages, but that's about it.
