I was planning on using the saltwater for a tropical tank, as in 1.024 - 1.026 sg, if the salinity is too high should I just dilute with rodi water?
Yes you will need to alter it and possibly add magnesium and calcium

Yes you can use natural salt water, yes you can avoid dosing elements,
You may need to increase the percentage of water change as your bioload increases to not use a skimmer

All the hermanns are down but greeks are still up but not eating

A big circular pool of at least 4k litres is best and cheapest set up, I cut down a 300000 litre water tank a few years ago

Sorry, this isn't to do with the original topic of the thread but do you know if there are any rays/skates and sharks that are keepable in home aquaria here? My max tank size would probably be around 2200 litres if that isn't too small and what would you feed them? Thanks
All sharks and rays will outgrow that tank size
Ihave kept very young rays and sharks for short periods but they don't take well to captivity

Yeah, I read up on the dardanus hermit crabs, apparently they are all very aggressive and eat fish and aren't really very good at cleaning up
That hasn't been my experience with them, they eat fish that have died usually
And only attempt to catch fish when not fed enough

This tank is similar size to one you are proposing
2.1 meters x 90cm x 55cm sump 1.8m x 60cm x 60cm, 2hp chiller

Hi, you can find lists of tropical marine flora available to be imported to NZ. You can use animals from local rockpools but most won't survive long in constant temperatures over 20 degrees centigrade and also have the potential to carry parasites.

As Caryl said and britlenose will usually only eat fish that have already died.

What area are you in?

The green water is algae
Green pond water is caused by tiny floating algae, which grow explosively. Additional effects are low CH value, high pH value and stagnation in growth of oxygen producing plants. Green pond water frequently occurs in newly built ponds containing water rich in food.

Probably a loose connection somewhere is the only tjong i can think of.

Hi Vicki good to see you are still doing the animal thing lol
to answer your questions
What kind of frogs would do best in the Far North of nz? Our house can get very warm in summer.
Both green and golden bell, and southern bell will handle the far north caresheet here https://aquariumworld.nz/databases/22-Tropical FWFishallowedinNZdatabase/1850-Green-and-Golden-Bell-Frog
What kind of water to land ratio is ideal for them, and what kind of filters are recommended?
A small bowl will suffice so land as general environment has good humidity, about 30% water if spawning
Also how many frogs are best to keep? Are they social or is 1 happier?
They get on okay if similar sizes but big frog is always capable of eating little frog
A small filter just to keep some movement in the water works well

When you find an appropriate enclosure give me a yell as we have a few we keep longer each season to see what colour and pattern develops.
