He's about 4 inches and there are live snails in there for him to feed on as well. Yeah, if I fed him as much as he'd eat in a minute it would be alottt of food. haha

I'm always worried I'm overfeeding or underfeeding my 75 gallon tank. My pufferfish has a big belly but he's not shaped like the one at the pet store his size, all his fat is in his belly. I feed them a cube a day and there's a stars and stripes pufferfish, hawkfish, damselfish and gold headed...

I would recommend getting a good clean up crew. The best price I've been able to find are from these guys Reef Cleaners| Clean up Crews and Macroalgae , and they even throw in some extras. I started using RO water and got a cleanup crew and it cleared my problem with diatoms and red slime right up.

If a choc. chip star fish dies in your tank will it kill everything else/spoil the tank?

I almost decided to do the same with my blue spotted, since they both are quite docile...I'm interested in hearing others opinions as well

My Blue Spotted Puffer and Stars and Stripes Puffer absolutely love clams, I think that would be your best bet! I don't think I would worry to much about it right now though, like was mentioned unless you see them becoming a major issue it usually takes quite a while for them to get out of...

So I'm setting up a QT tank for future arrivals and I was curious on the cycling process if you use water from your main tank wouldn't that transport the Beneficial Bacteria? What would be the best way to go about cycling this tank. I've used half main tank water and half new water. Also what...

I didn't do that, and my Goby was fat and happy, up until my lionfish ate him :( I also had messy eaters though so a lot of food went to the bottom of the tank for him to feed on. As long as he gets enough food there on the bottom I think he should be just fine, and if your worried about it...

How many GPH is recommended for a 45 gallon tank? thanks!

Been treating for over a month using cupramine and hypo

Yay! puffers are awesome. Definitely my favorite :)

So my tanks just getting over an ich outbreak and everyone (thats left) is doing great. Puffer is moving around and muchhh happier. There are only a few small white specs on his fins and I was wondering if these could be "scars" which someone mentioned to me or if it most likely the few...

Only time will tell...he could be just stressed out and looking to get used to the place. I'd start to worry if he's still on bottom in a day or too. So don't worry just yet :) Sounds normal to me

Gold Headed Sleeper Gobies keep the sand nice and clean, and you have a cover so you don't have to worry about it jumping out. My puffer was great with him and their pretty fast and can usually scurry under a rock if something bothers them. As far as feeding, I know Garlic foods increase...

What would you recommend for measurements. I've heard anything from 1.08 to 1.015. I'm at about 1.011 right now and was considering staying there, or do you think i should lower it more. I just want to be on the safe side. My pufferfish is doing ALOT better but he still has some cysts on his...
