convert from fresh to brackish

[binskiboi]

Hi, I currently have a 30 gallon tank, all parameters normal for freshwater. was wondering how i would convert to brackish (in a few months saltwater). I heard I could get away with no protein skimmer, and only use Marine salt? please help!

Thanks!

Hi binski. I have a 55g that I made brackish. The only difference between fresh and brackish is a bit of marine salt. Add about 2-3 teaspoons of marine salt per gallon of water. If you have any fish that you are acclimatizing to brackish (like guppies, mollies, etc.), then raise the salinity slowly over the course of a week. Otherwise, just salt it all at once and you're done!
