The Puffer Forum

Ok, I've been running my Sunsun HW303B since the 30 th of Dec, and thought I would add my review. Appearance: 10/10 This canister looks like a sexy robot. It's larger than I thought it would be, but it does house a 9 watt UV internally. Build Quality: 8/10 I would give this a lower score if everythi...

Do you have any freshwater tanks? I have some Amazon Swords in quarantine that may be ready soon fire trade.

Is that 16" without the pins? Are they square? I'm looking at bulbs and found a 36 watt, but it's saying it's 17.9", and a square pin 40 watt is 16.75".

That is so neato, I'm definitely interested if you can get the rest, and I'll pay for shipping of course.

And what is the length of the fixture?

Oh? How much if I also covered shipping?

They are not supposed to eat the oyster shell, only scrape their teeth on them to remove the meat. The shells are very hard and it would not be likely that even a larger puffer could "eat" the shells.

+1 to them biting you and possibly swallowing air.
It's best to use tongs for feeding or you will find the title of this thread becoming very literal.

Keep a really close eye on the wounds, if they start looking fuzzy you may need to use something other than melafix, like maracyn/maracyn 2.
What are you tap nitrate levels?
If you could plant the tank, the plants will consume nitrate.

It really is pretty sweet

It's truly best for the fish to have the light on a timer for 6 - 8 hours. They will become accustomed to when the light will turn on and off, and that is less stressful than random.

Pretty sweet, if you can, remove the cross bars, they are designed to refract the light in directions other than down. Also, cover your bare wires.

What do they taste like?
Jk. Those are generally harmless, but may be from overfeeding.

Welcome Beth!
Thanks for the pictures

My little dude eats mostly pond and Ramshorn snails, earthworms, and occasionally some squid, scallop, and bloodworms. I soak the latter 3 in Vitachem and Selcon.
