its the cycling part that im having a hard time with..
Processes are same as in f/w, just different Sp/strains of BB.
ok so, i fiure imma get like a 45, use sand as a substrate (any recommendations? i figured i would just use a pure white sand)
There were few threads recently on General Marine regarding new s/w tank except Tabisfish (way too long:evil_lol + bit of efforts on your part with research.
id actually like to try a mangrove kinda thing but, idk how doable that is, or what id need for it.
Old idea! if desired, DO it in shallow refugium with appropriate lighting..
so, what steps should i take to get this new tank cycled, and be able to adapt my puffer to the water???
I would gradually turn existing 10G into brackish condition while new tank is cycling. Upon establishing new tank, gradual acclimation should do the trick
