I think i have a good idea. I want to move my 3 firebelly toads to my 10g from my 20g long, and move all the salt stuff in the 10g to the toads 20g.

The 10g is acrylic, and im wondering if this is possible and will all the salt be gone out of the 10g so it will be toad safe if i wash the acrylic tank?

Salt is water soluble, so you will be able to give everything a healthy rinse and you'll be salt-free.

Thanks.

The only reason i am doing this is i want my salt tank to be more stable, and you can house max five toads in a 10g, so im good.

That was major hard work.

I ALWAYS knock something down. When i put all my LR in a bucket, i of course kick down the bucket.

The pics right now would be garbage. The 20g is pitch grey from adding more crushed shell substrate, plus i need 15 more lbs of live rock.

can't wait to see them after you have everything sorted out.

It'll look better compared to the 10g. A 20g means more fish, liverock, and anenomes.

its cleared, but a few problems.

1. Since i couldnt see how much substrate i was adding, i need more
2. The live rock died (meh, it'll cycle the tank)
3. The dam protein skimmer that i bought a month ago and was broken, didnt get the new shipment that was gonna be in february 27th never came yet, so no protein skimmer.



For filtration, im gonna have a rio skimmer, whisper filter, bio-wheel with just the bio-wheel in it, and i wanna get one of those big ass 90$ aquaclears, the biggest possible. I also have a hydor canister filter sittin around gathering dust.
