The Puffer Forum

I want to get back in to puffer keeping, but having sold all of my tanks, I need to get a new one.

2 that look interesting to me are these:

https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/15-ga ... -only-jbj/

Although it seems to me that the peninsula is more well known and reputable, it doesnt come with a lid. My last pufferfish died by jumping out of a tiny hole near the filter, so I definetly need a lid. The jbj tank comes with a lid, but I cant seem to find much information on it online, and for some reason It just doesnt look as high quality as the penisula. Can I have some advice on picking a tank?

Longer footprint is always better.

They are both 15 gallon tanks if thats what you mean. One is 16x16 and the other is 19x13 about

Always go with the longer footprint.

At this point ive pretty much ruled out the peninsula seeing as I really really dont want to pay 100 for a simple lid. However, to make up for the lost footprint, Ill probably end up getting the 20gal jbj. Its still 16x16 but its 4 inches taller.

You can't find something longer, than taller? Why such a fancy $$$ tank?

I really like how the tank looks, and I also like the fact that its an AIO. Im also planning to scape the tank so I want it to look good
