hey i am thinking about putting a brackish tank together as well, i know nothing about this kind of tank, are the filters and heaters the same for freshwater as for brackish? and right now i have a 40gallon, all set up and ready, what else will i have to purchase, including the salt and whatever a hydrometer is and anything else ? you say 10 gallons can be turned into brackish for 8$, so 40 would be like 32$, then what is a hydrometer? you said 13$, anything else i need? right now it seems like 45$ to set it up..?
i just really want some of these bumblebee gobies, they are awsome, and i really want to turn my 10gallon tank into a puffer tank
