Hi! My name is Rachel. I have had fresh water tanks for most of my life but I’m new to saltwater. I’ve got a 20 gal. tank and I plan to do a few small fish and all softies.
Biggest lesson I've learned to keep fishes alive after all these years was to buy natural filtered sea water directly from the store, instead mixing it myself. All I do is top is off with some fresh water, made things so much easier, and fishes love it.

I just used some for my quarantine tank! Here’s hoping it helps my sick fishie! 🤞🏻
