The Puffer Forum

I purchased macro alga from reef-keepers before. decent sized portions and he threw in additional types from what i ordered as well got a pretty good selection.

+1 to live blackworms

I run an ac on my sw to run carbon (reefgel) and purigen. And heed PP warning. You need to be OK with your puff killing/eating everything in the tank. "Full loss due to puffering"

I always use sponge prefilters on all of my intakes. It is safer for your fish, extends the life if the filter, and allows me to toss friends established filter media just by removing the prefilters.

Not sure what your friend was running for a filter on his salt water tank. This is normally done with live rock and a skimmer. Skimming won't work at the brackish levels your tank needs to be at. The only scenario that would work is if you had a filter off a brackish tank at the same salinity levels...

Yes. Please let us know how long the tank has been running. How it was cycled. And make sure to test for nitrite as well. As PP stated the tank should show some nitrate if its cycled.

hey PP easycarbo is much more widely know overseas but its comparable to flourish excel. I actually just saw the first bottle i have ever seen in the states yesterday.

So my 30g has been on hold to get my office tank that crashed, reworked. I moved my co2 into the office. Picked up a 6.25 gallon bowfront "arc" tank from Petco. Removed the internal filter and cleaned up the excess silicon, and cut down the glass hood to fit the fuval 20. The lights heater...

Welcome! Glad you found us. There are great articles in the library for snail breeding. Very easy.

Well two reason for that. First is I ment to post rainbow goby, which is a common name for it. The full name would be ......Stiphodon ornatus. There are at least a few freshwater gobies that I know of none of which I would advise keeping with dps.

PP for the save as always

Definitely check on ebay for these. I picked up a Victor hpt270-D for $60 shipped. The barrreport has fantastic references for part numbers for the post body builds and the article for leak testing is a must if picking up a used reg.

I had one for a very short period. I gave mine some very good cover to bury itself at the front of the tank. Had a hard time keeping it fed as the gsp would steal its food. As others have stated sedentary and slow fish are not ideal with gsps.

Hello and welcome!

I have amanos, zebra danios, and a peppermint plec. The plec is not OK in a 20. I have managed to keep a rose goby with them as well but this is just dumb luck. Typically you need a fast fish that does have long fins that is the appropriate size for your tank.
