The Puffer Forum

When we get our new tank next month its going to be really big prob about 4ft wide by 3ft tall and 2 to 3ft back.

Basically i want to know HOW i set up the brackish(i assume this is some salt in the water) tank. What do i need to do what do i need to get?

I want some bark,sand and plants for deffo and maybe some other decorative items.

What type of fish can i have in there i also prob want a MBU puffer

Thanks very much mate, much appreciates doesnt seem as difficult as first though!! any plants or anything i can put into it? would coral survive?

no plants, no coral sorry
you could always go fake

Ah right so everything would have to be fake? I just took a look at Pufferpunks tank and its full of colourfull plants?

if it was the s/w tank, i believe the plants are fake - they cant stand salt.

If it was the Saltwater tank!?!?

your best bet for puffers in bw is figure 8s, Green spotted puffers, and Ceylons

Ok cheers!

If you keep figure 8s, since they are brackish for their whole life then you could have live java fern as a plant.

most plants die off at 1.006 or so, so it would be close for plants with a fig 8.

I have java fern growing nicely in my F8 tank.

Everything in my SW GSP tank is fake.

any chance you can give me a website where you bought stuff from pufferpunk?

Too bad you live on the other side of the world. the stuff's all in my basememt. Most of it I bought from http://www.bigalsonline.com.
