Got a deal on craigslist $140 for tank, stand, lights/hood, filters, and the three large decorations inside the tank, not really my style but i will change it in the future....i went with pool filter sand for now, may add aragonite in the future to buffer the water for the puffers... Overly excited i ran out and got 3 more green spotted puffers and threw them in...i'm very new to fish and my impatience does not go well with the waiting required for fish...but so far so good they are all still alive!
