Your tank is large enough for 2 F8s. We have an article on them in our Library.

Looks like I may go the way of F8s again. Question. Can ADA Aquasoil be used in a Brackish Tank? And does anyone have any picture example of how to make a tank interesting for F8s?

Read this article on F8s: library/puffers-in-focus/fig8/
Aragonite sand is recommended as substrate for them. Forget about most live plants: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14694
