I said I was going to setup a 10g brackish tank, I can't seem to find a good site on how to start a tank. Does anyone know of a site?

this is the BEST site to learn how to start a tank. I would suggest doing a fishless cycle. Which is where you set up everything in your tank, then add a raw shrimp (add once) or get pure ammonia (add every day) from the grocery store. This will simulate fish in your tank and will rid you of new tank syndrome in 3-4 weeks.

I set up the 10g brackish tank. I have had a 10g hospital tank (never had to use), which was already cycled in FW. I read on some site that you can slowly add salt and the bacteria in the tank will stay alive. I put my puffer in the tank last night, and he looks great.

I gave the lobster to my brother for his 25g.

I would like to get another brackish fish that will go in my 10g with my pufer. I heard bumbl;ebee gobies are good tankmates, and that I could keep 2 in my tank with the puffer. Is it true that they only eat live or frozen food? Could I feed them freeze dried bloodworms?

I have no problem cycling tanks. My father owns an ammonia packaging plant

I never knew you could stick a raw shrimp in a tank to cycle it. What do you do, just let the shrimp disinigrate in the tank water?
