Got my new 72 bowfront for my 2 GSP's, They are in a 30 gallon right now. Got a Magnum 350 canister filter. Will that be enough filtartion?

Also Crushed Coral or Agronate for substrate?

Either. I find CC easier to clean with a gravel cleaner.

DO you yhink I will have enough room for another tankmate in the 72? My gsp's re about 3" right now. If yes any good ideas of what kind? They will be in high end brackish

I think a 72g bow front would be perfect for 2 full grown GSPs, but too tight for 3. Instead you could fill up the space with some live rock caves, etc.

The magnum should be fine for now, but when you get into high end brackish and they are about 4", you may want to consider making the jump to live rock and a good skimmer. It'll save you money on salt in the long run and provide the best possible water quality.

Overfiltration never hurts anything. but i would recomend a powerhead in that tank and agree with the lr and skimmer idea.

That's going to be a perfect tank for two full-grown Green Spotted Puffers. If only they all were that lucky! :grats:

I wish I had the cash for a 72 bow, mine are going to have to live with a standard 65.
