LOL, I agree. I told the wife...either we have to up size the tank or get rid of him. Well she loves him, so bigger tank it is.

Oh yeah, I want a really good one. Right now I'm looking at the Octopus Extreme XS-350 Protein Skimmer. I haven't made my mind up yet... But I like that one.

Agree, that's why I just get it from LFS lol. I know some people that swear getting it from the ocean is better. I always look at them funny.

One part will be where it drains into, one part will be for a crap load of live rock and I'll be putting a huge skimmer in the other.

300 gallons...

Sump today, 62x18x18 90 gallons of fun LOL. I can't wait to get my puffer in his new home.

Here is the pic....he's huge! A very awesome fish! http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/stangd1909/aquarium002.jpg THIS TANK IS NOT 275 GALLONS BEING A CORNER TANK. Also the tank shape is not suitable for any dogface puffer, btw I have the black and white version of this puffer @ 4 " long Ok...

They get big lol....They have a Bass Pro Shop if Ft. Myers Fl, in the back they have a 12000 gallon saltwater fish tank. Some girl donated her Stars and Stripes puffer and her Golden Puffer because they got to big for her 800 gallon tank. They are insanely awesome LOL...the S&S is 24 inches and ...
