Fortunately, I think the fish that came with the tank are very hardy.

Re: Gave into a reef (gasp!)
Yes! First though, I gotta tackle the nitrate problem I inherited
I'd do a huge w/c but I'm such a noob at marine that I don't want to stun the fish and corals from an imperfect salt mix. I did a 20% change yesterday and so far so good, but it took me well over an hour because I kept messing up with the salt dosage (in the bucket, not the tank, fortunately!).

Be sure to let that salt mix overnight.

Get the temp up to tank temp in the bucket too.

Re: Gave into a reef (gasp!)
Just a note: Can you not, at some point in the near future, get another tank for your puffer fix?
