Upgrade tank

[Hawaiishrimp]

I upgraded my opae ula from jar to tank, using the same water but the water in the new tank is only half the tank. Can I add distilled water to fill up the tank?

No, you should mix some marine salt with distilled water to make brackish water. Follow the directions on the box, except use half the recommended amount of salt. Use that to fill the tank.
If you only add distilled water, you could dilute the salt in the water too much.

Thank you Jenny I will do that tonight.

Anytime! Feel free to post pics. I love seeing everyone’s tanks!

Jenny, do I need to cycle the brackish water before adding it to my tank?

No need to cycle the water
