update...puff is eating clams and shrimp! I also picked up an emerald crab last night for his now weekly treat. I also got him crab meat and scallops which he chews up and spits out...I guess hes not a fan of either. I think I will try some oyster today and see how that goes. Nothing new in his...

I took 2/3 of the plants out last night...only left one in the corner so it doesnt look too empty. I have a container of live rock in the basement being cured. Once cured, I will be adding more live rock to the tank and the 3rd plant will be out! As for the pebbles....thats probably going to be...

sounds good! yeah my cpr is equipped with two maxijet 1200 so I will definetly try those two suggestions. thanks!

Anyone know of modifications that can be done to a CPR dual pak protein skimmer?

Ohh well I shall see if puff likes ghost shrimp as well

Ghost shrimp?....I thought freshwater livestock was unhealthy for puffers.

Well hefner413 you are absolutely correct. A simple google search reveals a seafood store that sells shrimp, crabs, clams, and oysters only 10 miles away from my house. I'll grab a little bit of everything and see what puff thinks!

Thanks all! I will be hunting down some puff treats as soon as I get out of work. Maybe he just needed a little variety in his diet to spice his life up...we can hope!

I'm referring to the saltwater fish variety packs that I have for my goby. They contain cubes of squid, brine shrimp, and algae. Anyway...you buy these large chunks of squid from your local grocery store? I dont think i've seen anyone around here sell it.

Thanks all! I could start feeding him the frozen brine shrimp and squid thats in the freezer...I just thought hed rather a nice whole piece of krill than a ground up piece of mushed squid. As far as other health concerns...well when he is active he seems happy and he physically looks healthy. 55...

thank you! Yeah...I know I dont really like the "fake" items in my tank but it does give it some kinda color. My plan was a fowlr tank...so color was going to lack....thus the plants. Unfortunately each "fake" item I take out...i realize how much money I wasted haha. Oh well...it was my first...

I have a couple of concerns about the porcupine puffer I have had in my tank for about 4 months ("puff" stuck as his name). My biggest concern is that he is very very lazy....he lounges on the sand in the corner of my tank for 85% of the day. The 15% referring to feeding and rare curiousity. He...

Mixed in with the live sand you can see a bunch of pink/blue beads that got dumped in my tank during the first week of setting up. I have hated them ever since they hit the bottom of my tank...anyone know of an easy way to get rid of them??

I have had the zoas for about 2 months. The current lamps are 15 watt 10,000K. I have coralife actinic lamps but they make my tank too dark. I would love to upgrade my lighting but I have dumped just about everything I have into the current setup (broke college student). I placed the zoas higher...

I would like to hear some honest opinions on my newly established saltwater tank (6 months). It is the first time that I set up a saltwater tank and honestly its such a blast! I am new to the hobby and do not know much about coral, so if someone could evaluate the health of my polyp I would...
