Depends on how your waters treated. Like mine can go directly into the tank because theres no chlorine or any dangerous chemicals so I'd find that out first.
Good luck

Hey I personally like pool filter sand better. It's much easier to get ready for your tank because of it's larger grain and I think the brighter white looks better than the brown look of play sand.
Good luck

Most do okay with ottos. Some people have had success keeping them with ghost shrimp too but it matters mostly on the individual puffer so theres no guarantee with anything.
Good Luck

Hey, I've came up with a question. The ceylon thing kind of fell through and I think I am either going to get a modestus or F8s what do you think? The question is though if I get one F8 could I put chromides with him? If so do you know like a stocking suggestion like how many of this how many of tha...

Hey,
Thanks a ton. That's not too bad it seems. So 10g water changes a week are enough you think, or should I be doing 50% a week? I was thinking I was going to have to do 50% a week and that'd be a lot of salt.
Thanks

Hey, Thanks. My tank is cycled right now and theres the fish listed above still in there except for the angel. Now this might be weird but do you think you could maybe give me a rough estimate of the monthly cost of a saltwater tank in a tank in my size? I really have no clue how I'd figure it and I...

Hey, Now I'm almost totally sure that I am going to get a ceylon. While looking into it I found a couple questions I haven't exactly been able to find the answer to. One question was right now I have an AC 500 running on the tank. The tank was cycled with freshwater Bio-Spira, now I know this dies o...

OOHH. So what I do is fill the 20g rubbermaid then measure the salanity so that it matches the other tank, then pump it up to the large tank with a pump and this will bring it back to the full SG because the other is half the size so with the same SG it would be half the SG if it were in the large t...

Hey, I've got one last question. Today I'm buying the new filter and am going to redecorate my tank. I have this one last question. What I was thinking would probably be best was to make one half of the tank heavily planted with some little caves, then the other with a cave and a few rocks towards t...

Hey,
Thanks a ton. I would get too 100GPH filters, but the thing is the back of my tank's slit is only big enough for one filter unless I get a new hood. So would an AC 200 be okay then? Or should I get a new hood?
Thanks

Hey, Oh wow I didn't think about how dangerous that DIY powerhead thing was. I'll go with a new HOB then, though there would be no way to fit the one I have present with a new one on the tank. You meant two at the same time right? Should I buy a new filter with 200GPH to replace this one is that eno...
