Re: GSP and powerheads.

Mine hated them when they were little and stayed at the bottom all the time but now since they are big they don't seem to care anymore. lol

Re: I neeed help deciding which puffer is for me.

Agreed with the above points. A F8 or DP is a good start.

No Petco or Petsmart or some other kind of pet shop with aquariums?

Re: OMG look at this video

Kinda disturbing how it tortured it by biting the claw, then a leg, then its tail and then went in for the kill by literally scooping out its brain.

You can drip acclimate get a bucket with the puffer and a standard air tube with the current tank water and run it like a siphon to the bucket. I would just keep your current SG and get the Bio Spira and some live rock. No need to waste more salt aka money. lol

I converted mine from fresh to full marine within 6-8 months after getting them.
