    Has anyone used Mangroves as Filter

    Cool, that was the answer I hoping to hear. What sort of lighting system do you need to provide? The reason I ask is becasue I want to add them to my sump under my tank and I am certain I will need to add a supplemetal lighting system.

    Puffer fish

    I currently have a 6-inch dogface puffer and two 2.5" shelled hermit crabs in a 145 gallon. As long as you keep your puffer adequately fed I don't believe he will go after the hermit crabs.
