Just looking for ideas. i have 30lbs of carib sand some dead live rock and qiuet one 700 gph scwd(drilled tank) set up.This was going to be full salt but decided not to (to much money) so what fish stays small likes alot of current and is brackish.and any other helpful ideas.
29 gallon brackish noob

although that would be way overstocked for a 29g, i'd go with an F8 puffer, a knight goby and some bumblebee gobies or mollies or guppies.
probably, i've got a 25x turnover on my 10g BW and none of my fish have ever minded it, though an f8 puffer would probably like a little less current. it's pretty easy(and cheap) to just get a ball valve and tone down the flow a bit.
actually alot of puffers come from high current areas (tho you'd never guess it) i would do the F8 and a few BBG's or celebese raibow fish
some puffers and maybe a bottom fish would be good in a tank like that as long as there is adequate hiding spots...never kept gobies, so can't really suggest them though.
My wife and I changed her 55 gal. tank to brackish. We currently have a red saddle puffer (Takifugu occletus..?) and 3 green spotted puffers. We had to get a tank divider. The red saddle killed the previous 2 green spotted puffers we had with it.
OH my point was get a puffer. They're really cool brackish fish.

I'm no expert on puffers; I'm learning myself. I have seen them in a video with mudskippers and archer fish. It kind of depends on the puffer too. I tried a columbian catfish with the Red Saddle Puffer and green spotted puffers with them, but they didn't even last a day. The puffer chew the catfish to death and I got a tank divider keeping the Red Saddle away from the new Green Spotted ones.
If you get Green Spotted you may have more luck with tankmates. They seem less aggressive or territorial.
