I don't think a 75 g is big enough for a Stars and Stripes puffer. They get quite large.

I had some in about 4 months. It could take a year tho. If you don't look for it it will show up :)

Yeah pretty much.

How old is your tank?

1st you want it real bad then you get sick if scraping it off your glass weekly. Coraline Algae forming naturally is a good sign for a reef tank. When it appears you know your doing something right.

700 lbs is nothing especially if it's against a wall which I'm sure it is. Remember the weight is spread out over several joists. The joists don't even know it's there.

I would try and get a smaller one if possible. A larger one would be ok too. I've heard you run into issues when they are the same size. I don't have any direct experience with this but this is what I've read when researching before getting my clowns.

Ah bummer. I would build one for you but I'm in NC

Where do you live?

That rock isn't looking too live.

I'm not sure there is one that's 100% reef safe. When doing research before getting mine ( Valantini) I read that smaller is better as far as nipping at corals and eating your clean up crew. Attacking your CUC is far more common with puffers. I love mine but the one tough thing is feeding...

Looks like some kind of bristle worm.

Oh man that's a bummer. I've never seen mine move fast enough to chase anything .

I'm in Holly Springs, just south of Raleigh

The plate won for sure. Frog spawn still retracted. I just hope it doesn't happen again. The other side about a foot away is a maxi mini. Who wins that one? Here's a pic. Sorry it's crappy. You can barley see a tentacle pulling the frogspawn towards it
