Originally Posted by jacrmill I think what threw up a red flag to Puffer 32 was the amount of fish in a 29 gallon tank that is not quite 6 weeks old. I would be scared to add that many fish and an anemone to that small of a system that is that young. I would just be scared that his bioload...

Originally Posted by lomar From what I have read your puffer will probly eat your expensive cleaner shrimp and your snails over time. They have to wear down their teeth. I have not owned one but that is what I have read. I agree with the too much bioload too fast but most people I think do that...

Originally Posted by Murph Well I would certainly not go so far as to say this tank is doomed. It is a somewhat odd combination of livestock As far as the anemone goes you will get many people that like to speak in absolutes when it comes to this creature i.e. you must have halides. Fact is I...

Originally Posted by puffer32 Well you are not going to like what people tell you but this tank is doomed.I don't even think its fully cycled yet. And your lighting is way to weak for an anenome! Your salinity needs to be around o.25. And a puffer needs more room. The tank is certainly unique...

This tank has been running for almost 6 weeks now. Thanks for the advice, i'm going to do more research, and possibly increase the Saltiny over the next 2 water changes, 33-35ppt. As for the lighting, this tank was made for corals and or fish. I have read that BTA's do not need as much light as...

I purchased a valentine puffer 5 days ago and he seemed to be doing ok. Since last night he's been watching his refelection, puffing up 50%, and whipping his tail against the glass. Is this normal for his adjustment to the tank (29gal), is there anything i can do to prevent this, or just wait it...

Originally Posted by Beth No that was not ich. Perhaps it was a tumor that got picked off by the shrimp. What you should do is starting thinking about a QT, otherwise, you will always have concerns such as this one, and worries of contamonation....or even have to deal with an outright outbreak...

Here's my vpuffer chillin on the roof of his castle!

I noticed within the last day or so i have these swirl like organisms growing on the glass of my tank. Any idea what they could be? I attached a picture, hopefully it shows.

I am posting this because i'm getting a little paranoid about parasites living in my tank. I have had my 29gal BioCube for about 6 weeks now. I used bio sand,live rock, and damsels to cycle my tank. Out of the four original damsels 3 have surivied and seem to be doing just fine. I also have 2...

Originally Posted by kmc The filter location in the back of the tank in the "well" fartherest to the right was not as shown in the manual in my tank. I agree that the front hatch can be a pain to open. As far as the water level in the pump "well" on the left hand side. It does vary but I find...
