My monster Brackish tank!

[lferg]

There are SO many issues with this thread... DP's ARE 100% Fresh water if they are still alive.... they are in no way happy! You can rest assured on that. They will be dead very soon or if not dead, they will be very diseased. Secondly,
"10x 12 x 20!

I overfilterate!"
Did you measure in inches?!?!? Those poor guys need some freaking room!!! And it looks as though your over filtration is an air stone? Is that correct? And whats up with the water quality? I will stop there before I get on a real rant!

To this guy ^^^^ Dwarf Puffers are completely freshwater.

And no, I'm trying to save you from dozens of flames before this gets out of hand. How can they possibly be happy? They have no room to move! If that tank is as big as it looks (10 Gallons), then you need an upgrade.

Yes, I could get a RTC for my 100G. He'd LOOK happy, right?

Hmmm... not a 100g...

probably a 120g...

48x48x12 is a good footprint... 4' will give him room to turn around.

10'x12'x20' is HUGE! did you really think i meant feet?

I was cleaning the filter, that is why it is not in the picture.

Come on, this is completely ridiculous! Seriously Ban him! Now! This is a completely LAME tank!

Dude Filter changes don't even help! You'd need like 400% WCs every second!

Well you did say "monster brackish tank".... Dear god man you really either need to give those fish another, much larger, tank or get rid of them (not by the flush and forget method) ASAP... I just don't understand why you would post this...

Flush and forget might be a little better than what he has there.

I am saving for a bigger tank. For now, this will have to do.

And although you do not like it, I love it and am proud. So I wanted to share with you. After all, sharing is caring, right?

Man, I asked my fish store for tank mates for my goby, they named a few others, but ended up with the puffers and shark. Thanks for the info, I probably can't get a refund now....

Sorry man, but DPs are completely freshwater. Figure 8s are brackish, but do a ton of research before doing anything else.
