So, I'm starting my first ever brackish tank. I've done fresh, i've done salt, so I figured how hard can it be to do a half-n-half tank? Plus, I have a decent amount of extra salt water and a 30gal tall FW tank that can be become Brackish with ease
S0, the first inhabitants will be some brackish hermits and a lot of brackish snails, as well as plants that will do fine in brackish water. Don't ask for any names, can't help you there. Anyway, the tank is waiting to be moved and set up, so I have a few questions first:
Will I be able to call it "brackish" if it's got 15-20gal Salt Water and 10-15gal Fresh Water?
Would the 2 brackish hermits and 4 brackish snails be able to go in it right away, otr should I wait? (they are in a holding tank right now, with the water they came in)
What kind of acclimation process should I go with, drip is my preffered?
What kinds of fish could I eventually put in with them?
If I had a massive piece of driftwood, would I need to take it out of the 30gal or can it stay even though it's a FW driftwood?
Thanks and I am hopeful for my first Brackish Tank!
