Like mgamer said, I'm in Chandler right off of the 202/Cooper interchange. I don't have any more room in the house since the addition of 3 kids in the last few years so I had to tear down the tanks.

I have 2 tanks for sale. The first is a 46 gallon bowfront with stand and light. The second is a 50 gallon with dimensions of 30x18x20.5. It also includes the stand and light.This tank was used for SW The first buyer will also get a Rena XP-2 filter. Asking $40 each. Both are in good shape.

These tanks are still available if anyone is interested.

F8's do best in a low brackish setup with a SG around 1.005 and the GSP does best with a SG above 1.015. People often keep their GSPs around 1.020 so they can use a protein skimmer and live rock. The 2 species of puffers are really not compatible since the GSP needs at least 30 gallons and a...

The Wet Spot in Portland is great. I used to go there all the time when I lived up there.Here is a link http://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/ Forget that. I just noticed you posted in the SW section. They only do FW

You can check out this website and it will give you plans for building a plywood/glass or a plywood/acrylic tank. For your 8' x 3' tank you cant go taller then 24" for glass or 30" for acrylic. http://www.garf.org/ On the left side menu go to:How To-Pages and the aquarium construction and...

Provided the tank is rather large you may be able to house monos and t. nigroviridis or t. fluviatilis together. You would just need to have a backup plan in case the puffer starts harassing the monos.I have a T. nigroviridis in an 80 gallon tank and he is the only fish in it. I have not tried...

Figure 8 puffers require at least 15 gallons and the GSP requires at least 30 gallons so both of those would be out of the question. Dwarf puffers are a FW species and will not fare well in a BW setup. a BB goby might be an option but I have no idea how it would do with a crab. Another option...

I have seen them on a couple of occasions at Pets Inc. in Tempe, although that was sometime ago. Another place to try might be Ocean Floor in Phoenix. I would definitely call first though

Thats why I said I might, not will, get a clownfish. It will depend on how much LR I purchase and how well lines of sight are broken up. If it doesn't work out I will put the clown(s) in the 50 which is going to be used as a sump/refugium.

I currently have one by himself in a 50 gallon tank but in 6 months he will be moving to my 80 gallon tank.Once he is in the 80 I MAY try to get 1 or 2 clown fish after I add some LR to the tank.Otherwise he will be the sole inhabitant of the 80 as well.I saw some full size GSPs in a store and...

It sounds like there are 2 different ways to prime it. Here is a link to an article to prime that particular model.Just read the first review. http://www.aquahobby.com/products/e_viaaqua_2.php

Puffers in general do not make suitable tankmates for a community aquarium. The only commonly available one that would stay small enough to stay in a 10 gallon is a dwarf puffer. The other commonly available puffers need larger tanks and in the case of figure-8s and green spotted puffers, need a...
