I found a fluvial g6 on craigslist, I have 2 gsp in a 30 gal... I plan to move them as soon as I get a chance to build a new aquarium (approx 100 gal) I was wondering if the flival would be big enough for the tank I have now and if it would still be enough for the bigger tank after its done... thanks in advance to the advice

I was also considering a fluval fx5 would that b a better option?

Both those filters are good, but not really the sort of filtration best for gsp. Once you hit marine conditions ( I assume that's the way you are going?) it will just produce nitrates. You know this already but you need to upgrade quickly as puffers grow quick

Yea I know they grow fast which is why I'm trying to do this as fast as possible, I am going towards full marine conditions all tho I'll admit Im lost when it comes to aquariums or fish in general... what kind of filter would u suggest?

It all seems a bit bewildering but is relatively simple. Good flow, live rock and a skimmer are the essentials. A sump is really useful or some would say essential so is recommended.

By sump do you mean under gravel filter? And apparently I have more research do to, do u have any links for setting up and maintaining a marine tank?

A sump is a secondary tank under the display tank. I am just starting my first marine tank myself

This is my first aquarium in general, my LFS misinformed me I planned on a 10 gal freshwater, now I'm scrambling to figure out what to do lol
