Slowly add drip, by drip.....from your saltwater aqarium . I use an air tube tied in a knot so it drips about 1 drip per secound. Drip directly from your aquarim into atleast a 2 gallon contaier . Put your fish and the water its in in your bucket. Then let drip on him until your contaier is full. When full pour half the water back into your aqarium. Simply let it fill up again . By the time its full your fish should be fully accimated

What is the difference in weight between a gallon of salt water and a gallon of fresh water?
salt water has more mass because of the added salt so salt is heavier :)

the ocean. water from the ocean evaporates into the air, ocean water has salt in it.

How many milligrams of salt must be added to 18 milligrams of a 20 percent salt solution to obtain a 35 percent salt solution?
this question is not hard to answer, but it does require that one make some assumptions. The simplest answer assumes that the 20% salt solution refers to per cent by mass. Thus: a 20% salt solution is one which contains 20 mg salt for every 100 mg solution where the solution consists of a mixture of 20 mg salt plus 80 mg water. A 35% salt solution would contain 35 mg salt for every 65 mg water. Now, assuming that all the water in 18 mg of a 20% salt solution remains in the final solution we see that 18 mg salt solution x 20 mg salt/100 mg salt solution gives 3.6 mg of salt; thus, there are 18 mg total solution - 3.6 mg salt = 14.4 mg water. So the final salt solution must be one that contains 14.4 mg water and enough salt to make it 35% salt by mass. Mathematically, this is written as Z mg salt/(Z mg + 14.4 mg water) = 35/100 This gives Z = 0.35*(Z + 14.4) or Z = 0.35*Z + 0.35*14.4 which is same as Z = 0.35*Z + 5.04 and 0.65*Z = 5.04 so Z = 5.04/0.65 = 7.75 mg total salt needed. We started with 3.6 mg salt, so we must add 7.75 -3.6 = 4.15 mg salt Check: 7.75 mg salt/(7.75 mg salt + 14.4 mg water) = 0.35 or 35% There you go! --assuming that much salt dissolves that amount of water!
How big do mollies have to be before you introduce algae eaters in a salt water aquarium?
6 foot
Do dalmatian mollies need salt in their aquarium water?
No they do not "need" salt in their water. Mollies (Poecilia sp.) originally came from brackish (Estuarine) waters and provided it is done very slowly they can eventully live in a marine environment, but they have been kept and bred in fresh water for so long now that salt is not a neccessity as it once was 60 years ago.
Why marine fish die when placed in fresh water aquarium?
They're designed for salt water, not fresh water! Just the way they are made. You can get aquarium salt from your local pet store, but don't put any in there if you have other freshwater fish that don't need it. Or get a tropical freshwater fish like mollies instead!
What type of water do silver mollies need?
Silver Mollies need fresh water
Does a silver molly fish live in salt water or fresh water?
Mollies are one of the few fish that can live in both fresh and salt water. If you are moving a fish from one to the other you should acclimate it slowly by putting the fish in a container and very slowly adding water from the new tank. (Example: Going from fresh to salt you would add a little bit of saltwater to the container with the fish in it regularly until it was mostly salt water after an hour or so.)
Why do mollies need salt?
they don't need it ,but they prefer it.
Your molly fish always has it fin closed?
Does yon mollie WAGGLE, too? In an unhappy sorta way? Mollies like a bit of salt in their water...the term is 'brackish.' Not as much salt as in the ocean...but a *TINY* BIT of salt. Don't put in table salt, though...the iodine is not good. You can get aquarium salt, or sea-salt-for-people would probably be ok, too.
Can you put goldfish with mollies?
yes
Instructions on making salt water?

Whats the purpose of the salt for platys in a fresh water aquarium?
Salt is commonly added to livebearer tanks because many of the livebearer species were originally collected/discovered in slightly salty water. However, platys are freshwater and don't like salt in the water. Mollies like salt in the water. That's one of the reasons they shouldn't be kept together. (The salt softens the water, to a degree.)
What happen to bromine when you put it in water?
Bromine is salt mixed with water so when you put it in water its just more water with salt in :)
Why do you put salt in with boiling water and vegetables?
