I'm thinking about making my soon to be planted tank a brackish one for mollies and assorted livebearers.
First, are those $8.00 hydrometer testers accurate? And can I just use Morton Rock salt (non iodized) to achieve the brackishness or is there a better or easier way to get there.
Second, are there any plants that can't handle any salinity? I assume there probably are. Also, can SAE handle a brackish tank? I may not turn this tank brackish, but I'm seriously contemplating it.
Lastly, can brackish conditions affect the CO2 delivery by my soon to arrive Carbo unit? I'm guessing its no big deal. Thanks for any help. I'm green on this stuff. Bob A (betowess)[/b]
