Great, thanks! One more Q: the puffers are arriving in freshwater, so I cycled my tank in freshwater. Should I wait 2 weeks until the SafeStart has worked its magic to start adding salt (in the weekly increments you suggest) or would I be fine to start within the first couple days?

Personally, I'll never keep more than one puffer together again - My three f8s started to fight more and more which is why I traded them in.
