    First brackish tank

    I have a green spotted puffer. The figure 8 puffer is slightly less agressive but as he grows larger dont be surprised if some of your fish go missing. As for salinity figure 8 puffers need about 1.005 since they are low brackish. I have a marimo ball in my tank now. They can handle around 1.005...

    CPO V.S shrimp? which is more interesting and fun to keep?

    My boyfriend has both CPOs and shrimp. I can barely see the shrimp in the tank but I am a real fan of the CPOs. I agree with Dwarfpuffers and start with the shrimp, but def dont give up the the CPO they may be expensive but they are really bright and have great personalities.

    cichlid for a 20 gallon long

    I am not sure if you have your heart set on a cichlid or not, but you could put a figure 8 puffer in a 30 long. They are full of personality and will great you. My green spotted puffer makes acroaking sound when hes hungry. Figure 8 are also low end brackish, you could used african rift lake...

    Perfect Water for Cycling

    I dont know much about ponds, but I know in a tank most of the bacteria is in the gravel and the filter. I am not sure but I dont think that the water would be a big help.

    Stalled Cycle?

    I would try to seed the filter. Try to go to a LFS and ask for a handful of gravel or something from there tanks. If you get the gravel put it in a nylon sock and place it in your filter. This can help with the cycle. That white stuff my be calcium build up. I get it all the time in my puffer...

    Hi. I dont know much about building aquariums or anything, but would it be possible to replace that back panel with acrylic? I dont know if that would be more expensive but its a thought.

    Algae problem

    Thanks. I stopped by the LFS today and found a phosphate remover by Hagen. I am going to give it a try and see if anything improves. I also bought a bigger gravel vac so I could clean the gravel better. Hopefully this will improve with the diatoms.

    filter choices

    I have a 30 long aquarium. I got this tank off craigslist and it came with a broken Tetra EX70. The main tube was broken but I fixed it with some aquarium silicone. This morning the tube broke again but now its unfixable. I have an old aqueon 20 or 30 on it right now, but the impeller is busted...

    Dorm Tank - need help

    I agree with sublux. I tried it and it didnt work, my cycle took almost two months. Most of the stuff I have read about the instant cycles say that they may work but it can make the tank more unstable. I would just stick to the onld fashion way and maybe go to your LFS and get some used filter...
