Hello All,

I have an 80 gallon long where I keep brackish fish (scats, datnoids and eels). I keep the Salinity at 1.016 and often push it to 1.020 because the fish seem healthier in that salinity.

My question is, does anyone know of a Monster tank dedicated to this type of set-up? My goal is to have a 400+ tank in the next year OR two that will be based on an estuary biotype/ open sea. I would like to see some ideas or chat about possibilities for set-ups.

I want it to hold other SW fish that also thrive in those areas like puffers and snappers and that sort.

Great! Any idea who that person is? I wish we could look for people under categories like that. I'd like mine to have an extensive mangrove root look. I don't know if that can be done without using the real thing.

my 90gal corner tank was a brackish setup before i got it. it was my wifes uncle. he had one HUGE spotted puffer. his head was as big around as a softball, and at least 16-18" in length. there were literally thouthands of crawdads in there, they were reproducing like crazy.
