If you're going to be using a ball valve for opening up the drain line, do yourself a favor and buy a schedule 80 double union ball valve. I have them on each end of my 300 gallon tank that I close for feeding every night. They operate as easily and freely as the day I installed them.

Oliver Knott has a group of them living together...not sure on tank size though. In fact, he has babies that are 52+ days old now.

Might want to check with Oliver from Below Water. They've carried them in the past.

Looks great! That little puffer sure has lots of room to cruise around the tank. You've made a great place for it to explore.

They just sent us a photo of the puffer right when they bagged it up for shipment to us. They thought it looked different than the rest of the batch they got in at the same time. It wasn't that great of a photo, but I thought it was a schoutedeni puffer from that very first pic. Then they...

We bought a puffer from The Wet Spot a couple of weeks ago. It was listed as a schoutedeni puffer on their sales sheet, but when they went to bag it up, they were convinced it was something else. We emailed each other back and forth about the puffer and ultimately agreed on the purchase and...

Not yet. Wes held of the shipping to us, because he felt they weren't 100% right now. So, he's going to email me when they are ready to go again.

We have our Fahaka in a 125 gallon, for now. We do have plans to purchase either a 120 or a 180 before the end of this year. The 2 foot front to back length, I feel, would be very beneficial to a puffer who will potentially get 17 inches. I'm leaning toward the 180 at this point, even though...

I would say most places are selling them for around $200. Some places are cheaper. Definitely not a cheap fish, either way, but it does fit the small, freshwater, and "community" bill. They are becoming more abundant know, so I'm guessing the prices should keep falling over time. We just...

Pulled the trigger on getting a schoutedeni puffer from Wes, at Rare Fish. It'll arrive here on Thursday. Thanks for the info, pictures, and inspiration.

Awesome tank! Can't wait to see it up and running.

They are kind of spendy right now, but have you considered the Tetraodon schoutedeni?

Great looking puffer. Those pics are REALLY making me want to pull the trigger very soon on a schoutedeni. Must...resist....

Ramshorn shells are not too hard for a puffer. Trumpet snails have a much harder shell, IMHO. I'm looking at picking up a schoutedeni in the next few weeks. Already have all the live food it'll ever need, since we have a fahaka already. Will be nice having a community puffer that stays...

I believe Cory, from Aquarium Co-op, runs his auto water change system at his store with a similar mixing valve. LOL. I know all about condensation on pipes. I pretty much covered our entire unfinished basement area with pipe insulation. I will say it has worked wonderfully.

Been in the hobby for 17 years and I've used both HOB's and canisters from various manufacturers. HOB's - Marineland Emperor 400's and AquaClear 110's & 70's. Canisters - Fluval 403's & FX6's, Eheim 2228's & Prof 3 2080. We are currently running 12 AC110's, 2 AC70's, 2 FX6's, and a solo...

These will absolutely fit AC 110s. I'm using this prefilter on all 13 of our AC 110s. Keeps the main sponge cleaner, thus making servicing the AC 110s easier.

It's normal for small FRT's to not eat foods from the surface. It'll probably take a few weeks or more before he gets comfortable with the aquarium and you, as the one providing the food. You could use a feeding clip and place some favorite foods in it and move it closer to the surface more...

Be sure to have a tight fitting lid. They are escape artists.

Not much at all. Maybe 1/4" over the entire span, in some places. I guarantee with a smaller space to cover, you'll have no flex at all of you go with the twin wall polycarbonate panel. The single wall stuff has much more flexing to it. The twin wall stuff is nearly indestructible, too. I...
