    Puffer tank mate?

    I have a porcupine puffer recently added to my tank about 2 weeks ago. All levels were perfect. He was bright at the store and did pretty good the first couple days.

I left a few of the little rocks in from the old tank, they aren't huge but prob 15 pounds worth. The two big ones were big but not enough for even the old...

    High Nitrites! Help!

    The tank isn't new new tho the people I bought it from had it for 2 years. I don't have any power heads but the canisters create a current on either end. The tank came with 2 over hang filters, an airrator and a salt tester. I've been using the strips to test. I took a water sample in and they...

    High Nitrites! Help!

    New to the forum looking answers! About 2 months ago I bought a 55 gal off people who were moving, they didnt do much with the tank for 2 years but add water and scrub algae. She told me she never did water changes but it has been running "just fine" with the two overhang filters. Wrong! Algae...
