Welcome!
What species of puffer? If you don't already have the tank set up & CYCLED, please do not purchase the puffer on Tuesday.

Re: Help please!
I love those lil guys! Did you know they can live close to 20 years? In answer to your question, aragonite sand is recommended.
Here's my article on them: library/puffers-in-focus/sap/
Also, on cycling: library/water-filtration/fishless-cycling/

Great thank you so much
I have wanted a puff for 20 years! I'm so excited and want to make sure the conditions are just right!

Congrats on the weight loss, BTW. I'm a recovering food addict myself!
