Hey Whip! Work has been CRAZY. 😵‍💫Thus a big reason for my recent absence. I'm working on another puffer video now as we speak. Perhaps it'll continue to push to rethink "never keeping a puffer". 😉

@FintasticFreaks Don't get me wrong, if I had a space like you do, I'd definitely have one, so "Never gonna keep one" comes off more harsh than intended. My issue is that I have space for 6 aquariums (7 if you count the 14g cube at the bottom of the stairs) and my indoor pond. That's it. The 210 has my New World's in it. The 120H has my Jaguar in it (and hopefully I can get the other Central Americans in there too once I have everything in place). The 90 is a community... sort of... with Electric Blue Acaras and Angels. The 65H is for species from India. One of the 150Hs is for species from Africa, again... sort of... considering the showcase fish will be a starry night from Madagascar. The other 150H is for the Silver Cichlid (Maskaheros argenteus) out of Mexico and hopefully my Red Texas. The pond is for my black arowana. And just like that, I'm out of space. There will be a 90 upstairs in the living room, but that's for my wife's flowerhorn, and I don't see him or her getting any tank mates.

Not sure why I didn't see this sooner... But those are both solid ideas. May have to do that next time I set up a new brackish tank. :)

Yes they do! 👍

I second this. 👍

Understandable. 510 gallons is literally like having a miniature swimming pool in the basement. 😆

I got mine at Home Depot. They usually run about $10-$12 per 50 pound bag there.

Mbus are pure freshwater puffers. Mine has done well in tap water, but mixing some water conditioners/decholorinators, or Seachem's Prime doesn't hurt when adding new water to the tank.
