O ya and s.g is 1.004 incase that is needed

Have had my 20 gallon set up for a while now and is completely cycled. It is not overstocked and i do not over feed..normally it is crystal clear and lately its been sort of cloudy. My water parameters are ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate 5. I dont understand why my tank is cloudy. Almost a white...

Ok so i checked my tap water and tank water again today just for a second swing at it and now the s.g is lower than yesterday..about 1.002 or so. So im planning on adding a few tablespoons of salt with a little bit of extra water since some evaporated and my filter is now making a loud splashing...

The reason i have salt in my water is because i have well water with a water softener which uses salt.

Now that i have been doing research i understand a bit more. So my tap water has a s.g of 1.004. Measured from my tap and from tank with hydrometer so im almost low brackish. Basically i want to increase my s.g by .002 each week for a few weeks to get to ~1.008. Basically i need to know how much...

I have a biowheel 100 and a 150 theres plenty of flow. And i mean no disrespect here but is the flow related to acclimating to brackish water?

I am working on the math part and starting to get it..its based on 50 percent water changes. How do i base it off 25 percent?

New to brackish water. Acclimating baby gsp to brackish water! Help! Ok sorry for all of my posts but im learning and cant seem to find a direct answer and all of these sites i get transfered to dont help. I need to acclimate my baby gsp into brackish water. I checked my current water in my...

I had one i put in my gsp tank as food and it encouraged the puffer to chase it. Then when the puffer got close it would pet my puffer with its feelers. It was so funny. Then they would sit side by side in a clay pot..never seen anything like it haha. For sure a funny animal

Also to add to this i literally have nothing in the tank except the shrimp n water should i put a small filter on there to keep it clean? Even if its one of those penn plax sponge and carbon filters you hook up to a air line. I dont wanna lose these little guys. My puffer will think theyre om...

So on sunday i bought a dozen ghost shrimp for my baby gsp to use as feeders. Some of the females had eggs on them. To keep poof (my gsp thank my sister for the name) from eating 12 shrimps at once i put them all in a spare 10 gallon with about 6 gallons of water. So i went to change the water...

Ok thank you for your help. I might just have to wait for my 15 days of membership. Love this forum. Even have the iphone app!

Ya that was my thought too. For a little guy hes a pig and once he gets the taste of food his hunting senses hype into overdrive n looks for more food and will eat till he explodes. Whats a good site to get snails cheap?

One of the issues i am having is actually getting snails. Most of the lfs around me put copper in their tanks to kill snails so they dont have any but keep their ghosts in separate tanks to protect them.

Sry about the language..i think what they did give me were pond snails. Very small the siZe of my Fish's eye. They are brown to black in color as Well. I just hope ghosts will work. Then i can use them in another tank to breed them and they are awesome to look at. Snails not so much haha.
