Re: Reconsidering the porky?

I don't actually have an economical sense of the whole thing. But I imagine, if placed proportionately, it'd be very, very much cheaper. I'll check out your suggestion about the fisherman thing. Forget the phone book though, hell, this society is pragmatic. I've googled the thing. It looks like the ...

Re: Reconsidering the porky?

What model is this skimmer? Is this good enough for a 160 gallon?

I had to crop the file by lots. It is a cylinder, from base all the way up.

Anyway, here's a link to the full image if needed.

Re: Reconsidering the porky?

Woah woah, hold on there; I'm 15! Let's not be talking about wives yet. I was rather interested in the video. But I need to know what white Portland cement is, I can't find any of the US products over here, drives me nuts, especially when I was doing research about feeding a bearded dragon. On a sid...

Re: Reconsidering the porky?

I'm 15. It takes me a lot of time to save up to about 400 dollars, thus the attempt for steal deals. For that same reason, I imagine I would probably be unable to contact a fisherman, and any time to pick live rock from Singapore shores is going to get you in some measure of trouble I think. That's ...

Reconsidering the porky?

Alright. So it seems that there is a possibility of having a tank 180x60x60 custom built. I'm wondering if I could do a single porky in there, with x amount of life rock, and a skimmer rated for 200 gallons. I'm wondering if I could skimp a bit on the life rock, as these things are hell expensive ov...

Re: Porcupine puffer?

Does anyone else have anything to add about marine puffers with spikes in captivity? Or any other suggestions?

Re: Spiny Box Puffer

That explains why you said they were not suitable for beginners. Could you talk more in detail about why they need to be dewormed that often?

Re: Porcupine puffer?

It doesn't necessarily mean I made up my mind. The actual tank will be coming in a year away after I figure out acrylic glass hybrids. So any suggestions as to owning some form of puffer/burrfish with spikes with care advice is recommended. The tank however, cannot exceed 100 gallons. Anyone ever ke...

Re: Porcupine puffer?

Thank you for all the help and information. So I could assume therefore that holocanthus tend to get to 10 to 12 inches in captivity. I will also assume that the burrfishes are difficult to maintain in captivity. See, here's the issue. The idea of having a 120 gallon will be hard to conceal from my ...

Porcupine puffer?

Hello there, new to this forum. So, I have absolutely no experience with a saltwater tank and was recently intrigued by the idea of owning a porcupine puffer. I did do some research on WWM, and various library books, but suffice to say my research is still in its infancy. In any case, the original p...
