What do you do to keep the pH at 7.8 - 8.3? Probably obvious but don't want to get anything wrong. I have seen certain things for sale which say they keep the pH at a certain level but there are so many products, half of which i'm sure are useless and I didn't know if this was one of them?

pH levels
You may remember (but chances are you won't so i'll explain anyway
) that a little while ago i was deciding on whether to get dwarf puffers or a congo puffer. Well, i got neither due to various reasons. I didn't even get a tank. But now I am back to deciding what to get but I have decided not to get either, and instead I think I might go for a F8 puffer. I am really determined this time and I have researched them loads and I am pretty sure I know what's what now but I have one question (and more will probably arise at some point):

Re: pH levels
Also, one other question (told you there'd be more
):
Is there any plants that you would recommend?

Re: pH levels
i don't know of any plants that survive in brackish water besides mangroves but those live mostly out of water and get big, if you want a planted tank i would go back to thinking about freshwater puffers

Re: pH levels
Crushed coral will help maintain pH levels. There are also pH balanced rocks you could buy from your LFS.
