For starters :
29g fresh. Relocated fish to other tanks, 50% wc., gravel vac. filter clean, etc. 2 AC70's for filtration.
Added 1 cup instant ocean salt after all this. Coralife hydrometer does not register yet, obviously, but how much salt to add and how often to reach the levels required for a "baby" ruby scat, 2 bumblebee gobies, and figure 8 puffers. The fish are in the tank now, seem to be doing fine, and came from the LFS tank that registered ".10" per the employee.
Can I bring it up faster without harming the fish, do I need to ?
Will the fish be harmed by not bringing it up fast enough ?
Will I kill the bio., and have to re-cycle the tank ?
I've had fresh water for years, but this is my first foray into brackish/marine.
Any help about any aspect will be greatly appreciated.
The ultimate goal, would be a small full marine tank, but want to take it slow to learn how.
Sorry for the noob questions, bear with me.
