Puffer

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well I wasnt gunna move him from the tank he is in until he is acclimated to a higher sg...a few more weeks maybe...and until the piranhas are out of the tank he is going in haha.

Plus I need to find some muscle to help me move tanks to the garage to be cleaned...ugh the waiting is killing me!
 
be more than happy to help if i was in the area :) love cleaning tanks and getting them ready for more inhabitants
 
haha i hate decorating. maybe we can trade, i will clean your tanks and you decorate mine. im never truely happy with what i do with the tank, which i guess can be good since puffers get bored easily and i can just switch it up when i want
 
especially not happy when i am in the process of buying live rock little by little to take over the majority of my decor so it looks kind of like a cluster f&%k of ideas crammed into a tank hahahaha. in the longrun it should be pretty nice
 
IDK why this thread stayed in the BW Forum, instead of the Puffer Forum, where I would have seen it earlier. What are your parameters? If you only had the puffer in there for a week & are already at 1.008, then you've raised the SG too fast & I'd pull back on the salt a bit & test the parameters. No tank mates for your GSP in a 30g, which is the minimum for an adult, as he should grow to 6" & look about the size of a Nerf football. As someone else said, the 55g would be much preferable for him & then you could get him a few SW tank mates. No big rush getting him into SW either, another waste of $alt.

I don't see the reason to raise the SG higher than 1.020 in a FOWLR system. It's just a waste of $alt, IMO. Higher for reef tanks though.

i did a very very slow change for the sake of the F8's since it doesnt say anything anywhere about them being able to do fully marine, but i figured since they can do mid-high brackish if i did a slow enough change they could handle the fully salt.

In a 10 year study of F8s, it was found that F8s do best at a low-end BW SG of around 1.005. The 50 year pufferkeeper who did that study had his living to 18+ years!
