looking to change my current FW tank to BW... was wondering what the process involves.. i have read of many different measurements of salt to add to the water so i am quite confused and unsure.
Atm i have black bream and mangroves jack... looking to add in maybe a mulloway and flathead.... and maybe a barramundi.

The tank is 5 x 2 x 2 and has an aquaclear 500 and a home made cannister filter (2000ltr/hr)

any info or anymore euipment i require?
 
no more equipment needed, atm, once you get over 1.010~1.012 then i'd get a good skimmer. basically when you do your water changes mix in 2tbsp per gallon of water going back into the tank. drip the water back into the tank via an airline and don't do more than about a 20% water change at a time, your salinity should eventually reach about 1.004 and then you can increase the amount of salt to 3 or 4tbsp per gallon when needed.
