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.

I started mine kinda low and worked the way up to 1.005 cause I had mollies in the tank to cycle for awhile before I added the other fished. The last month and half, I got it to 1.005. How many gallons is the tank?

Its the red scat. I can sit in front of the tank and he will try to nip on the fins if he gets close enough. The puffer and the mollies swim around together to look for food. They dont mess with the mono's and the scat. Tend to stay away from them. I might just take the scat back to the LFS and...

I have a 32 gallon, 2 silver mollies, archer fish, 3 monos and a figure 8 that I added recently. My mollies are actually the biggest fish in the tank. The others are still young. I think in a few months I will be getting a 75 gallon tank.

Ive had a brackish tank for about 3 months now. I would raise the SG every 2-3 weeks. Im at 1.005 finally and I plan to keep it there for awhile. I have a figure 8 puffer in my tank and a few mono's in there also. I have a 32 gallon bow and I would add bout 1-2 tablespoon of salt. One think I...

I've had a red scat in my tank for 2 months now and its not that big. He would chase my fishes around but never nipped on the fins. I added a figure 8 yesterday and now he is started to nip in the tail fins of my mono's and one of them only has half a fin left. Has anyone ever had issues with...

I got my first tank when I was around 5 or 6 yrs old, it was a 2 gallon tank, didnt have it for that long cause I got a 15 gallon tank. I didnt have that tank for that long either cause I kept on adding fish. Being a kid you dont think bout how much fish you can put in a tank. I then got a 25...

Puffers are kinda to hard to take care for my nephew. I had my two green spotted puffers die on me two weeks ago. Going to redo my tank a bit and get a figure 8 this time.

I took him yesterday. He wanted a clown fish cause of finding nemo but told him it will die if we put in your tank. Then they have a koi pond and he was asking if we could get that instead. Got some small guppies or mollies, can't remember. They won't get any bigger than what they now.

Very nice looking betta, now im thinking bout getting a small 2nd tank for my bedroom so I can get a betta again.

I used to have a betta in the past. It got along with my other fishes I had in the tank. Maybe cause it was the smallest fish in the tank, so maybe that is why it never messed with the others. I think it lived for bout 4 yrs. The water changes will be tough cause I know my sister and her b/f...
