Hello from California!
Hello Puffer Forum, I am glad I can be here. I am a new puffer owner. Just got a 1.25" GSP from LPS. Still got lots to learn. Please do not hesitate to give me any advise.

Re: Hello from California!
According to the post regarding to the brackish water mix. Does it has to be 50% water change weekly? And is it true that water change need to be done by weekly? Like 20-30% water change weekly?

Yes, until the fish is brought up to SW conditions with more biological filtration, 50% WC are recommended.

Re: Hello from California!
What is the desire PPM for the tank water? The tap water in California is quite hard. Its about 300ppm.
