The Puffer Forum

Need inspiration for setups on the salty side, piccies appreciated if dont mind

Also wondering on a tank that is mostly made up of rocks or dried coral and such?

Everything in here is fake.

The Archer is quite convincing.

my 125g was only rock and sand with my chichlids. Now that i have my fahaka in there i have a big piece of wood that i found on the beach and treated! I am going to interduce some java moss and some spider plant.

55g GSP tank--all fake:

Thanks so much for sharing guys. Sighh...I have always loved that tank Pufferpunk, I did look at fake corals but dont think have the cash to splurge on enough to make it look good. Thanks for sharing taureandragon 76, it is good to see open water, is that a bubbler at the back...quite quite tempted for some fun as I bet the puff loves it.

So I have gone like this:



Please ignore my aquatic cups that are holding the swamp root down currently. I have pretty much all silk plants, some nice pieces of rock at the back and couple of shells. I plan I think to add some more silk sucker pad plants, though as always appreciate any comments

Its an old one not very good but it did the job. Plants are all fake.

im in love with that archer

That tank is lovely Hilly, the rocks look so precarious but fab! Is that your sabensis? Gorgeous markings that pufflet has.

Yes they do look quite precariously perched but they were secure. I did have more rocks but they detracted so much from the amount of water I left them out. That is the Sab when I had him. If you look at the far right rock it has asort of alcove ground into it, he used to sit in that and rest.

Basis ingredients: Aragonite Sand, Ocean Rock, Silk plants and a fake root.

For my 120 litre which works out roughly 30g could I squeeze 3 in there? I think I know the answer is two but I will ask..

Possibly, you would need to take dimensions into account, length being the most important one and adjust water changes accordingly to cope with bioload as they get bigger and bioload increases.

I thought you meant 3 rocks there for a minute.

lol! Thanks for the advice Hilly. hmmm will have a think on it, the water changes are not a problem to ensure bioload coped with it is just the fact tank is triangularl.

I made this detailed picture a month or so ago on my F8's 20 gallon.



Fake wood, fake plants, lace coral rock with aragonite substrate.

Hi, I want to show my brackish tanks too.

This is my F8's tank: 53G - 2 F8s - SG 1.003 @ 25°C - no plants





And this is my GSP's tank: 20G - 1 GSP - SG 1.011 @ 27°C - no plants (the glass is a little bit dirty, sorry!)
