I have a Whisper 3 on one of my tanks and decided to do this with it, it is not the main filter so I thought I would modify it since it was just wasting away in the garage... foam filter floss (walmart) and pot scrubbers (dollar general) turns out to be a very nice Bio filter and have had no problem...

thank you .. Pufferpunk

"OK, so the answer in short is yes, your puffers will be fine with the dried corals in there. He now realizes his mistake of harvesting live corals form the ocean & says it won't be happening again. His puffers are juvies & now he realizes that they need to be seperated as they mature (...

your quotes, this is why I am a bit defensive ok... "F8's and GSP's are incompatible,It doesn't matter that they get along, This is a puffercare site, care for them properly, they are not compatible". OK, and all I was asking is can I put them in a tank with Coral.....think about it..........

I am trying to be polite on the forum, I felt as if I was being interrogated on the Coral and not asked about the fish, I have had the Coral for around 8-10 years in this tank and I also understand about the needs of ADULT F78 & SGP's but they are not, I said they are 2 1/2 inches each so they a...

sorry if I did not give enough info, but what I mean by "dry" tank is that it was a display tank for the Coral, it looks like a saltwater setup until you get real close and see it has no water in it....but as for the F8's and the SGP's getting along........they do and do fine together, may...
