Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

At the moment I'm using the tank as a temporary live rock storage for my upcoming SW tank, so there will not be any pics soon :(
But I will post pics as soon there are anything to show!

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

Have not even thought about it yet. But I'll guess I'll do a classic cycling, wait for the ammonia/nitrite to go down before I add any fish. Will probably wait a month or two before adding any puffers.

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

Any opinions on which type of rocks to use?

I guess dead "live rock" would work, or some white holestone?

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

Thanks for your elaborate reply! I can assure you that the salt I have "Red Sea Coral Pro Salt" http://www.redseafish.com/index.aspx?id=4163 is not a kitchen or grocery salt mix. So I guess the optimal way to keep a F8 puffer would be to slowly change the salinity level from close to FW to...

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

I have some Red Sea Coral Pro salt, using this in my SW tank, it should work?

But what about using reverse osmosis water?
Is it neccesary or is ok with tap water?

I think I'll use it to be on the safe side. It can't hurt.

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

Thanks for the link.

Should I use RO-water and coral sea salt?

Re: Planning of a 45 gallon puffer tank

Ok, then I will go with 2 F8's and some bbg's.

If I want to keep the tank as close to the F8-biotope as possible, what should I put in my tank?

Plants?
Drift wood?
Which sand?

Planning of a 40 gallon puffer tank

Hi everyone, My first post here! I'm planning to setup my 40 gallon tank as a brackish species only puffer tank and need help! I haven't decided on which puffer yet, but I'm leaning towards 2 or 3 figure 8's. At first I wanted a GSP, but I'm not prepared to spend the extra money on live rock and a s...
