Well, what i did was get them home and float them the bag in my 10g dp tank and then started adding my tank water slowly to their bag. From there i proceeded to add 5 gallons of tap water @ roughly 76-78 degrees (PRIME added ofcourse) to the 15g. From there I siphoned 5g from the DP tank and added t...

My temporary SAP tank situation
Alrighty people, i just couldn't resist. Our dining room is almost done having its new hardwood flooring installed. From there i will be setting up a 90g seaclear tank in the room. I have posted a few posts months ago detailing my plans for a 90g SAP tank. Reguardless, i stopped by the fish store cl...

update: the 20g sat for 3 days with no leaking so i decided to set it up tonight. it is now up and cycling. My coralife freshwater aqualight arrives tomorow. I am a bit concerned about the stand however. It appears to be an all-glass MDF stand(or fiberboard) with a black lacquor finish and gold hand...

i feel kinda bad. the breeder box is kinda small. its like the little plastic hang ons that the fishstores use to put fish in to bag, but it has slats on the bottom to allow water in and out. I put a big clump of java moss in and some snails. kinda like this but it has holes/slats in it. http://www....

just kinda want to get them out asap. I didnt realize the puffer would turn so violent so quickly(almost night and day). Most people said a year or so to mature, Mine was super tiny when i purchased it in september. And its the only one in the tank so i didnt think there would be territorial issues ...
