Re: New member from Chicago
Welcome! You'll find several other Chicago members, I think.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

I grew up in Chicago. To think that I lived but minutes away from PP all this time and never knew it...
Re: New member from Chicago
Welcome to the forum and I am sure that you’ll have a nice time here interacting with other puffer lovers!! The 180 gallon FOWLR must be really impressive and we are looking forward to the pics that you promised and with the puffers!! Hope we can get some nice tips about looking after them too!!

I really think you need 2 separate tanks for those 2 species.
