Hi Thanks for the prompt reply. First off, I did mean 0.25ppm NitrIte. I'll admit, we only allowed the new tank about a week and a half of cycling before getting the mollies.
We figured three of them in a 30 gallon would help speed the cycling process (with daily partial water changes until it settled). As far as the salt goes, we have very slightly brackish water (about half the recommended treatment - so a tablespoon per 10 gallons) as we did intend for this to be a community tank. Slightly brackish is around SG 1.003-1.005, 6-9 grammes per litre.
Six grammes of salt is about one level teaspoon, and one US gallon is 3.75 litres. So if my math is correct, SG 1.003 is about 22.5 grammes of marine salt mix per US gallon, or just under four teaspoons of marine salt mix per US ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
