Retiring Puffer Addict

Its been a good 1.5 years of being a puffer addict. I learned a lot about fish keeping, filtration and water quality as a puffer addict. Its time to breakdown my puffer tanks and change gears. My Fahaka and Turgidus will be put up for adoption with local fish keepers.

I have a really strong interest in reefing now, particularly coral keeping. I'll still hang around TPF though, but probably not as often unless there is something useful I can contribute. All my extra time and hobby money will be invested in my 46g reef, and I am already planning out my next 100+ gallon reef tank and small frag tank.

Family do not agree with that many tanks unfortunately. I want more reef tanks, but family says there are too many tanks in the house.

Right now, my reef is almost about to begin. I'm waiting for my lights to ship to my front door after Christmas.

when you get to 20 plus tanks..that's when your family should be staging an intervention..Thankfully I'm married to a puffer-pusher..
