The Puffer Forum

Sorry we have not done any mid-week posts, with 4 kids and work, we hardly have time to stumble into bed at night. Reef was doing great, we thought, he was swimming around a lot. Mostly when the tank light is off, or before we feed him. He spends most of his time under his rock when the light is on ...

Salinity is the same as he has been living in, got water tested. Everything was in check but pH was a little low at 7.9 we will just add salt RO water to the sump rather than fresh as the evap takes place. Got a test kit, and picked up some more live rock (totally cured out of the display case like ...

What is everyones take on the pictures? Setup? Reefs color? The live rock? Where Reef has been hiding? Is that normal for him to hide? Do you think he misses his former owner? Update: Reef came out and was swimming around right before we left. We had turned the light off. Is he going to tend to hide...

Thank you so much! We r out now gathering supplies and food. We will follow all of NGs recommendations. We can put the frozen shrimp and mussels and clams right into the tank right? We feel better about the liverock, it had living clams and living plants and corals (I think coral) on it and it came ...

here are the pictures of the Live Rock we added.

I think it was deff cured. They said we could just add it at the store.

Pictures of everything.

Will the Damsel just eat the live Ghost shrip before REEF gets a shot?

Can we add hermet Crabs?

the Live rock was taken right from another salt water tank at the aquatics store kept wrapped in wet paper towels, tied in plastic bags, and then just added to the tank. I am going to add a picture of each rock.

We have noticed there are a few live clams on the rocks.

Posting pics now.

Thanks! We did a lot of reading online, and talked with some friends, and the woman who sold us Reef gave us a lot of help, but there is nothing that can replace doing. Which is why we are so greatful to have you guys for the live feedback. -We are leaving in a few to head to Tideline Aquatics with ...

4 year old Dogface Puffer, REEF,just moved in with us. He is between 4-5 inches. He is not moving much and we are so scared for him, we have have never had a salt water tank, and with no experience we don't know what to expect from him. He has eaten, but we feel like not enough, but we don't know wh...

Hello Puffer World! We just bought a Dog Face Puffer, and an 80 gal tank, and a pump thingy, and a lot of water, and a light, and a filter, and a bunch of fake coral, and now we dont know what to do!!! Our Puffer's name is Reef. We are really excited about getting him all set up in his new home with...
