The Puffer Forum

I've thought about purchasing some base rock sometime in the near future. I was curious about rinsing it off, the putting it directly in the tank. Would this be an issue? From what I've read it sounds like you don't need to rinse it and then cure it. Is this true and would it be okay? I ask because ...

I have a fluval on my smaller tank.

I really like the filter. So far I'm not having any issues. I have a friend who said he only replaced the light bulb ever 8 months. At first it was difficult to get it to prime. I don't have any issues with it spitting gunk and other things out into the tank. The water is crystal clear. I had to get...

Aquatop CF500UV 5-Stage Canister Filter with UV 9W, 525 gph I recently purchased this and got rid of my old sump due to some flooding issues I had. I was wondering if anyone else has this filter and how much so they like it. Few quick things from me Very Quiet UV Stabilizer 4 Compartments for Media ...

I added 8.5oz of Bio Spira before I added the fish also.

I added food waste as well when I first did the tank. I am planning in texting the water in a few days and having the lfs also test it. I also added live rock in the tank that would carry beneficial bacteria since it was in my cycled tank. As long as it stays in saltwater the bacteria won't die off.

My father had a 400gallon tank with a Dogface Puffer. You could walk to the glass and if he knew you he would puff. He would also puff around dinner time to get some food.

I bought a 75 gallon tank. Did a 20gal water change on old tank and put that water in the new tank then added all tap water. Added some prime and clarity, and let it cycle for about 4 days. Tested and it said it was cycled took water to LFS they got the same results as me, got home and just to be su...

I recently acquired a 75gal tank, lights and some other things from Craigslist. I finally have the tank cycled and wanted to share with you pictures of my new tank. The puffers and damsels I have are somewhere in the tank. The damsel usually stay around the live rock and the puffers around a skull c...

My puffers won't even take a nibble at MTS.

I have a bamboo cave lined with rock over the top to hold it down along with some live rock around it. I'm waiting to see how they react as they aren't moved into my larger aquarium yet.

My puffers will refuse MTS. I feed them only Ramshorn. I don't think you should be concerned as a previous poster said they are built to eat small crustaceans

The play sand I added is mode of a brown type color. I've added fish food into the tank alread to allow it to create ammonia. I have to still add some salt to get my aquarium to the right salinity

I added two bags of black sand and fiji pink sand along with play sand for a beautiful bottom IMO. It's all washed and now in the process of cycling so I can move my 3 damsel fish and 2 puffers. They are all juvenile. I have a question regarding bio spira bacteria. I have some being shipped to my ho...

I only put aggressive fish with aggressive fish. I think I may be leaning towards a Proky puffer in the near future with the name puff daddy The tank I saw that really got me intrigued into fish keeping was a 400gallon tank at my dad's pawn shop that had huge hermit crabs (ones the porky couldn't ea...
