    Slow down powerhead?

    Upwards may work. I have a cauliflower coral and some flowery looking things(sorry not 100% remember the real names). And a anemone. I just don't want the higher flow slinging my puffer around too much Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Slow down powerhead?

    Hey all! Is there anyway to slow down a powerhead? I know there are tricks to rigging a filters outage, but I'm not sure on this. I have a small powerhead for my nano and it's still alittle too much. Only rated for 240. It with my filter on its lowest setting is still alittle much for some of my...

    Marine puffer tank....

    That's a great idea!! I will remember that. Mine are tall enough now that they are very much so out of the water. And I hope that by still slowly converting the salinity to marine from a brackish gives them adequate time to adjust. So far so good! Thank you so much? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Phantom the betta has as growth...I think?

    What is he in the tank with? Like will you hurt others if you use a fungus med? My betta got stuck in the hole in one of the pots in my tank and I had to help push him back out and he ended up with something that looked similar to that. I dropped some fungus guard tabs in and did a water change...

    Marine puffer tank....

    Oh he will stalk the shrimp and eventually kill them? he doesn't seem as interested in the larger snails. I have two in there that are bigger then his mouth and he leaves them alone. But the shrimp forget it! He will eat mts as well. I was thinking since the hermits are alittle bigger I may try...

    Marine puffer tank....

    Good deal. Is that your tank? It's beautiful. And yes, I'm not scared to do the maintenance for the corals and such and the lighting isn't an issue. I just didn't know how the puff would do. I guess it's hit or miss with these guys. But I am going slowly to a full marine tank only I'm going to...

    Marine puffer tank....

    Well considering this isn't my first rodeo I'll do alittle more explaining. His tank is brackish as he was in a freshwater tank at the lfs when I brought him home. I have been transitioning him over the past five months to increase the salinity in his tank to a brackish level. He is the only...

    Marine puffer tank....

    I am in the process of fully converting my puffers tank from a brackish to full marine. Once this is done is it acceptable to put some coral in? And other invertebrate? I'm pretty sure he will prob try to eat them but are there any that he won't? Thanks!! Also, on a side note, anyone know if...

    New puffer tank:-)

    Thanks so much!! I went ahead and researched all of that and purchased it before I ever set his tank up:-) I usually mix the water in the am and let it sit for a while. Then test it to make sure it's good before I do a water change. I believe it's easier that way:-) Sent from my iPhone using...

    New puffer tank:-)

    Yes as this is not my first rodeo with fish, just puffers, I know that I could put a maybe a bumblebee or two for now. As noted in a previous post this tank will get upgraded to a 20g within the year. When I stock a tank I generally stock on the low side of inhabitants. As not to overcrowd them...

    OMG!! My puffer is NUTS!!

    Ok:-) he was back to his old self this morning. I fixed it so he can't find his way back up that hole into the filter!! I just didn't know if puffing added extra stress to them or what. I can't find any info other then that they puff when they are threatened. He is in a 10g by himself for now...

    Low pH

    My ph runs alittle lower as well but I am use to keeping angelfish and they do great in alittle more acidic conditions. My established tank has been running for going on 7 years and my ph has been steady between 6.8-7. My fish have been thriving so I haven't worried too much about it. My biggest...
