Try soaking it in garlic.

Oh, no! That poor little thing! Melafix should help those fins.

didn't seem to like it the first day but now he's eating it up!

Yay!

Bringing this thread back after a long time.

Puffer is still doing fine, the tank isn't as clean as it was in the original pictures but remains basically the same. Down to just figure 8's and a goby now.

I was considering switching over to a canister filter, does anyone have any recommendations or experience with one with a brackish tank?

Monitor water quality routinely. I would not try to keep that much fish mass in a 29 myself. I am pretty conservative on keeping non-schooling fish.

I will only use eheim canisters now, they are the most reliable on the market. Also part of my ocd

+1 to Bertie's comments on Eheims - they are I've used for decades.

Would a Eheim 2215 plus a Koralia Nano be enough for a 29 gallon? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/p ... atid=23591

I already have the nano sitting around.

I am between the 2213 and 2215.

I use a lot of 2215s. You can always reduce the output, but you cannot increase it. I am also more than a little neurotic about fine-tuning current in new set-ups. I also always mufti-filter.
