Re: Dogface puffer

So would a 30 gallon it's actually 32 but its 36" long would it be ok for a small one for a little while and would it be ok with some green spotted puffers?

Dogface puffer

I'm wondering about the dog face puffer. My question is that they say a dogface should be kept in no small then 100 gallon tank. Is this because he needs more space to swim or is it that they are worried by the amount of waist he will produce won't be good in such a small tank? With that being said ...

New Tank

I'm starting a new tank and is currently fresh water. I am wondering do I have to take all the water out and start over again or can I just add the salt? I am removing all the decor just leaving the sand. I am also adding 70+ lbs of live rock right away as it is sitting in my basement in a 30 gallon...
