HELP!!!

Hey that's neat. We haven't done those on here before but the biology is still the same, I'd assumed lots about this tank and that it was a reef. All details regarding group A rock in that linked thread still apply, and that narrows a clear direction down from various cycling options

You add bottle bacteria, along with that ammonia shown in the thread up to 2 ppm, in a tank with no life in it. When you can go to zero ammonia in 24 hours down from 2 ppm, your brackish tank can have fish back. any time currently spent with fish has added to the bacteria in the tank, but to tell if it's enough you have to digest test from the thread.

That means you never judge your cycle off a single reading of numbers. It's a dual reading

A 2 ppm one


Then a zero one in 24 hours. Those combined readings tell you it's ready.

thanks very much
 
Look like Figure 8 Puffers which, like you stated, are brackish water fish. So you should have a specific gravity (SG) of around 1.005 to 1.008.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 6 31.6%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 26.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

    Votes: 4 21.1%
  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

    Votes: 1 5.3%
  • I haven’t really considered this before

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
