hey guys, i know this is goldfish tanks but i was just wondering if anyone had any good advice for setting up a brackish tank. i've been reading about them but i cant find any info about how much salt and other chem. stuff and water changes and cycling so if anyone knows i would greatly appreciate it. smile.gif

unsure.gif What specific fish are you looking to keep? What size tank? smile.gif
Some people start out with one tsp. per gallon,but it really depends on the types of fish and specific set-ups that you want to do.Here's a general article on The "How To's". smile.gif

thanks that page was helpfull. i have a ten gallon that i either wanted to put bumblebee gobies or some sore of small puffer in cause i heard they dont get along with. i know that i need to get a hydrometer and a heater but i am still looking for info about cycling the tank and anything else that might be helpfull. biggrin.gif

Cycling the tank is really like you'd cycle any other tank.Safer if fishless cycling of course. laugh.gif As for salinity,I know that different fish like different amounts,so you'd have to google the fish that you're interested in to learn a bit more. In general,it seems like most I've read about use the 0.2 % range,but you're better off looking up those specific fish.If you google "Starting,or how to start a Brackish Tank",you should be able to find a lot of "how to" articles biggrin.gif
