So anyways, I've always been into saltwater, and about a week ago I grabbed one of my 20 gallons from the garage, a couple hob filters, some rocks I stacked up in a crescent shape along the back, and it was already filled with pool filter sand... So with that said I bought a bag of instant ocean, a hydrometer, and got my salt level to brackish, 1.015 about, and let that sit a couple days. Then I got two figure eight puffers and they were in barely brackish water at the pet store, so it took six hours to fully acclimate them to the higher salt level, I've since increased it to 1.018 so I'm hoping to get that to full marine, I ordered a powerhead online, and hopefully gonna get a skimmer IF NECESSARY. If I also have to i would be willing to mix live sand in with the pool filter sand if it would work, maybe some live rock. I'm really not interested in going with corals, or anemones. So yeah FOWLR, or maybe fish only with partial live sand, but I think live rock looks cooler, so then again I could also get rock off the shelves then it would eventually become live in my tank right? And if I do end up getting a protein skimmer could I replace one of my hobs with the skimmer? And also in the future once it establishes and I hopefully put my figure eights back into a different tank, and then get a green spotted puffer, and maybe 1 or two other fish, that can survive without corals/anemones
