The Puffer Forum

Can't be a 100 percent sure, but from what I read and heard, once your babies become a bit bigger (Juvenile to adult), they will become less tolerant of other inhabitants. Most the time Puffers will think that everything that moves in the tank is lunch. So don't be surprised once you puffer ages tha...

Ok, Right now in my tank I have 2 Plants, 2 Zebra Snails, and the water is at a salinity, 1.008 Should I get a Hardy fish right away (A Brackish Guppy or Molly), or wait till the nitrites and nitrate stabilizes at 0 for a week or so? (I would think then the tank would be considered cycled) So what s...

That why I will let my tank as is.... And I will continue to do my weekly water changes and wait till my tank has: No Nitrates or Nitrates and no ammonia and the PH stabilizes. Than I will a one or 2 fish a week until I have about 10 inches of fish in my tank And then I will see about another tank (...

thanks for the help

I've noted this quote in the article: In marine aquariums the KH is supplied by the synthetic seawater mix used to make saltwater. The KH level will depend on the particular brand of salt. So it's also true for BW... May be there is a site out there that made not of the KH level attained by each of ...

Here a good site with some explanation for people just trying to figure out why is it so important to measure GH and KH and the relation they have to the PH
