i know im excited but nervous at the same time. now friday needs to hurry up and get here so i go decoration and bubble wand shopping!

 

[noob23]

Don't be nervous, this hobby is all about the fun! How are you planning do decorate? I don't really know what a brackish tank is supposed to look like, so what do you have in mind?

well i need to give them places to hide thats for sure so some fake plants a cave or two...i really love those decorations that have bubbles coming out of it. and a bubble wand cause puffers love to play in bubbles. Im getting so excited. I woke up this morning and the cloudiness is almost completely gone.

 

[RoxnSox]

so it has come to my attention that i have too much salt in my tank for puffers so today i have to take some water out and put freshwater in...

 

[f8fan]

Can't wait!

after a 25% water change i have it now set to the recommended salinty that i got from research. It was pointed out to me that i should call my LFS to see what they have their salinity set to on their brakish tank though. Thank godness i bought a decent sized box of instant ocean i have a feeling for the next couple days im gonna be playing with the salinity alot.
