Re: hello all
Hi there! If I were you, I'd just keep the tank cycled as FW, since most BW puffers around here are sold in FW. Then when you are sure the tank can handle the bioload of the puffer, you can start slowly transitioning him to BW.
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

I have already done the transition. I have a good friend of mine that suggested switching to BW before I get the puffs that way it is cyceld and ready to go for them.
I'm super excited! I'm going today to get a Archer to help get the bio going along-hopefully in the next 4-5 weeks...I can get my puffs.
What do you think?
Re: hello all
What are your parameters and SG at now? How fast did you raise the SG? Never cycle your tank with fish.
