so i've been thinking a lot lately about brackish tanks. i've always known i've wanted one at some point, and the fact that i now have 2 empty tanks seems like a perfect excuse. i'm not 100% on this yet, so this thread is kind of like a "what if" deal.
so i'm thinking of turning my 20g high into a brackish tank.
i would want to stock it with a couple of black mollies and bumblebee gobies. would these two be compatible?
i understand that i'll need marine salt and a hydrometer...anything else different from FW that you'd recommend?
also, how well do plants do in a brackish tank? this tank was supposed to be a low-light planted tank (anubias, java fern, maybe a crypt), and i'd like to keep it that way if at all possible with BW.
also, i'm guessing i don't have a large enough tank, but what about dragon gobies? how large of a tank do they require?
are there any hints/tips/special advice you have for a BW newbie?
TIA
