back to the substrate subject...do you think a mix of tahitian moon soon and crushed coral would be okay. some one was selling some close to my place. and it's in an established tank right now but wants to change it

Saltwater. Make your own thread in the brackish forum and read up on them in the pufferpedia and other things. They start in freshwater, go to low brackish, mid brackish, high brackish then dip into full saltwater :)
