After an email from a fellow forum member whom shal remain nameless.....CHEERS JEN.....LOVE YA MATE I have just dicovered that my LFS has some F8's in, sos I am off in an hour or so to pick some up.
Just have one little problem, the guy who was going to guide me through how much salt to put in is not in today . Please can some one advise me on how much salt per litre I should add?!?!?!?!?
I'll be able to talk to him tomorrow, but just need an idea of what salinity to run them at overnight. My idea was to just keep it nice and low.....they are only one inch juvies.

Any ideas?

edit: Tank is 147l....and please excuse rubbish spelling!!!!!

Here's a link to Nmonks' brackish calculator, I've never used it myself because I use a hydrometer - it only cost a couple of quid and has served me well:

don't raise your SG by more than 0.002 otherwise you risk your filter bacteria dying off.

Best of luck real excited for you!! Fingers crossed. Use the calc it is good! Have it .002 for the filter but check with the store what they have theirs at as well. OHHHHHH!!! All the best!

Better than PuffDaddy I guess. It makes me laugh that I remember all these millions of things about fishkeeping, no matter what the water is, but you ask me to remember what I did at work last week, or where I left my keys this morning and I am SO increadibly forgetful it's almost embarrassing
