I currently have two figure 8 puffers in my 75 gallon BW and been running for almost a year now. They have great personality and one of them gets all excited when one of my nieces come over. The one thing I learned bout puffers is make sure the tank is well established cause if its not. They...

I have fake plants cause my puffers for some reason decided to tear my one real plant to test out. I use liveaquaria.com mostly but I usually just google sites to get more info. Real plants are very slim pickings cause of the salt lvls. I had to raise my lvl a bit so I can't have real plants...

Should be ok with that salt. I have my brackish tank for over a yr now and it was a rough start cause not much info out there for brackish. I currently have a 75g with a eshopps wet/dry and a 700gph pump on there. My stock is 4 sun mollies, 5 orange chromides, 4 figure 8 puffers, archer. Stay...

Not for what type of snails. I live in Indiana and don't have to many options. Whenever I buy snails for the puffers to eat, I get whatever is on sale.

I have a 75g brackish and I have a eshopps wet/dry with a mag7 pump and a marineland 200 bio-wheel hob. Keep the water very clear and I only clean the filters out maybe once a month. Sometimes I go two months.

I'm getting a 10g soon to breed some snails for my figure eight puffers. What is the best way to set up for breeding snails and I was wondering if I could put a betta in there?

Here is my 75g brackish tank. Its a week old and I'm still not done with it.

It was coming from the over flow but when I moved the lid that the hose is hooked up to from the overflow box, it quit making noises. The lid sits at a slight angle so it doesn't make any noise.

I tried that and it made it a little bit quit but still making the same noise. So was messing with last night and I actually rested the lid where the water comes out on one of the edges so its at a angle and now its quit. Now the other issue I have so much water flowing in it splashes out the...

I got my eshopps 75 gallon wet/dry running yesterday. Had no issues yesterday and no noise at all. Got home from work today and I noticed bout every 30-45 seconds, it makes a gurgling noise. Any suggestions or ideas how to stop it?

Im getting a 75 gallon with a wet/dry system or a refugium of my choice. It will be a brakish set up and I was wondering what are the pro's and con's of each and what do you think I should get.

Thanks for all the help, I've been looking up some of the fishes. Found a few sites that sell them.

I was wondering if there are any cichlids that could be fine in a 32g tank for long term? I debating either make that tank a salt or cichlid setup.

Ive had my 32g brackish tank now for a few months and I'm planning upgrade to a 75g that is set up for a coral set up in a few months. I want to add live plants in there and some wood pieces and I was wondering if I could do that because of the salt?

Kinda hard to give a exact amount, start off with bout 10-12 table spoon and measure after a day or two. If your still low, just keep on adding more salt.
