Hello MFK's. This is my first post, but this website looks awesome and I'm excited to be a patron.
We have two freshwater tanks (20g and 35g) and one brackish tank (20g)
We are beginning the process of cycling a 75 gallon tank to turn it into an additional brackish tank. I put a small amount of wet gravel from a different tank and put about an inch of crushed coral and crushed shells, then I threw in all the rocks and decor we want to use to build. I had to just set them in there, the crushed coral made it too murky to do any aquascaping. It has been running for a few days with the filter on, and I'm considering eventually adding the inhabitants of the smaller 10gallon brackish tank to the larger one, to speed up the cycling process and get it at the right levels for adding other fish. The brackish tank has 3 bumblebee gobies, two nerite snails, and a violet (dragon) goby. Once the tank is running the proper levels, we will probably remove the bumblebee gobies and the nerites and put them back in the 10 gallon, because I'm assuming we're gonna get some pretty big fish like monos or chromides or something. If anyone has any experience with a large brackish tank and could fill me in on some tips that would be cool. Also looking for stocking suggestions.
