tank set up question
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 11:14 am
Hi,
New to the forum. I am sure that this info. is probably contained already somewhere but I am in a hurry.
We will not rush with getting the fish, but there is a 75G used tank that is for sale in our area. It looks great, just not sure if it is the size we will need.
Our plan is to get a puffer and this will be our first fish. We are open to different species, just not sure we want a really small type.
As I said we will not rush to get the fish and will research and get help with cycling, get the best filtration etc.
Question - what specific puffer would you put in a 75 g salt water tank? My research this far says no crabs or decorative shrimp etc, but are there any coral that we could use to give the tank color? Are we limited to live rock and a few tough plants with puffers?
We would also be happy with one cute puffer, but it would be nice to have two fish swimming in the tank.
Would we be better going with a 90g to have one other fish?
We looked into a full marine, salt water tank, but realized we don't need the one fish of every kind and one coral of every kind look. Just don't like a stark bare feel of live rock only.
I am doing research now and we have debated fish for months. Trying to find what will be best in the long run for us and the fish. That 75g looks really good and I would hate to miss out on it if it is just what we need.
Thanks.
