Another bad update this one didn't make it either :(

I wasn't able to set up a drip system in a bucket mainly because i don't have the right size heaters to keep the water wurm enough

So i did a water change around 40% and then set up a drip system to fill it back up to lower the salt level some it was going fine next day i check on the puffer was fine second day of dripping was fine again and even ate some Krill the next day I wen't down in the morning and check to see if the line was dripping as fast as i wan'ted it all good but i forgot to check on the puffer i wen't out and came back this after noon and found it dead :( there was a little less then a gallon left in the backet that was filling the tnak up i check the water all fine only thing was the nitrates they were at about 30-40

I'm really bummed i really wan'ted a fangs puffer there my favorite i guese i'll have to try and find one being kept at freshwater

No offense, but are you talking about the idiots at Todd's that told people to put salt in with their rays but make you bring in water to do a water sample before you can buy one?

AquaMart has some interesting puffers that are actually being kept in fresh like they're supposed to, such as a hairy and a pignose.
Wheres aqua mart BTW mabye i can get another puffer there if there being kept in freshwater mabye a hairy puffer i really had my heart set on a fangs but i will be upgradeing the puffer tank to around a 29 possible bigger so i could go for a larger puffer if i can't find another fangs
