The Puffer Forum

After being up since yesterday and thankfully able to talk to all of you, may I first say my very appreciative thanks for your help and care. I have learned so much about Puffers in the last 48 hours. :) We now have a 29 Gallon Eclipse w/ an Eclipse 3 lighting and filtration system. We got the Insta...

Thank you so much, I appreciate that. I'm glad they at least gave me the right salinty.

I am using the color test strips. the PH level is 6.8-7.2. And by media in my old filter, what do you mean exactly? I've n...

I'm somewhat of a newbie when it comes to all the details of PH and everything. I've never really tested the water except for salinity when changing his water... But this time I moved out and needed to move him with me, after all, can't leave my gorgeous puffer behind!! He's a GSP and I've had him f...
