How about salinity I put some salt in but not to where my tank is cuz I wasn't sure.. And didn't wanna waste to much salt if I don't have too... Also how long should it soak in there

 

[manbeast]

I'd let it soak till all the ice melt is disolved out then soak in tank water, my understanding is that rock salt or ice melt is very different from marine salt and you probably shouldn't risk putting too much in your tank

Lol so I really wanted to start this tank but didn't really have cash for light so I engineered a t8... hyperdrived t12 combo lol you guys should get a good laugh from this

How old is your tank? Sebaes are one of the most difficult nems to acclimate to your tank, and is not a rookie nem. I wouldnt put a sebae in a tank less then 9 or 10 months old

[Dimdim]
