sg is specific gravity.. saltwater terms.. its a brackish tank.. anyway its a 17 watt whight light

if you could i would bump it up to 10 danios.. i cycled my tank with 3 barbs, and 8 danios and the ammonia, nitrite spikes were very slow. 50 gallons is alot of water for 5 danios so unless you feed them very good then i would recomend adding a few more danios.. just make sure to watch your...
