All puffers are awesome :)

Absolutely phenomenal! Great work..

A mated pair of cardinals would be nice in there! Possibly not with the gramma though..

I've not kept them together for a very long time, but bumble-bee gobies and F8's seem to be talked about a lot together. As you've said and no doubt read, puffers can be unpredictable, and not consistent over time, so it's a bit of a gamble. A gamble i'm probably going to take myself though.

It looks like it's getting bullied by the molly.

Tank looks nice. Where abouts do you pick up wood like that? I'm looking to create a mangrove-style root system but can't find anything like this.

Right.. bringing this one back up :) Moving house soon so have been doing some thinking again on using it as an opportunity to leave marine's behind (for the time being) and set up this brackish tank which has been sitting dormant since I purchased it! I've now got a custom sump built to go in...

Found some info/videos online yesterday about wet/dry filters. These seem pretty simple to make, wondering how suitable they would be for brackish? Does anyone know if the de-nitrifying bacteria at SG 0.005 is the same as fresh or salt water? Or something completely different? :) I suppose it...

Hi all, I've asked a similar question in the brackish forum, but thought i'd open it up to the wider audience. If you had a sump on a freshwater tank, how would you do your biological filtration? (Or how DO you do it preferably?). And what else do you run in your sump other than heaters...

Thanks. What do you think is doing the most biological filtration? The plantlife no doubt will be doing nitrate export, but what about ammonia? Do you think the crushed coral is working as a bio filter?

Thanks. What kind of plants do you keep in your sump and at what salinity?

Hi all, Re-visiting my brackish plans again due to moving house. I've got a 180 litre tank with a sump which I would like to use. The tank was originally going to be for marine use but I may cut back in the new pad to save some money. I was originally going to use an Eheim 2028 with the...

SOLD! to jojouk.. Many thanks!

Yup, that's fine. I'll PM you some contact details.

Hi. Yes, I can do the 26th, but only inbetween 9-10am. Alternatively I can do anytime on the Sunday, but would prefer it to be first thing or towards the end of day.

Saturday the 30th of what month? This Saturday is the 26th of November, next Saturday after is 3rd December. Please confirm. I can do, I don't remember _not_ using the sales form at the time. Is this a recent introduction?

Hi. The price is £20. If you want me to hold onto it for a long period of time you'll have to pay in advance or at least leave a deposit. Let me know or I can offer it to the next person. Thanks!

If you manage to find another six, i'll take them :)

Bump :)

Still available if you're interested. Previous seller has gone quiet.

Thanks to the others for interest, i'll let you know if the sale to michmash/eddie falls through.

Yup, still available. I'll PM you my contact details.

Still got this, needs to go, £20 to anyone?

Hi all Looking for an Eheim 2222 / 2224 external filter in good working order (no leaks). Media not necessary but will require baskets. Can collect from Essex/East London area but otherwise will require postage. Can arrange courier to collect. Let me know what you've got. Cheers!

Many thanks for the photos, maurizio. If it makes life easier, you can upload the photos without resizing to a free image hosting website like imgur.com and just link to the images here using [img] tags.

Thanks for posting the photo. If you could post some more that'd be great! :good:

Remember not to add salt directly to a tank with livestock in it. Dissolve it in some water first before adding.

Any offers folks? Would like to clear this out the garage :)

Bump :) Ono?

Hi all :hey: I've got a Juwel Rio 180 stand in Dark Wood in as new condition. Has only been used to test-fit in a room. Currently has a layer of high density foam stuck on the top as the test-fit tank was a custom build and not Juwel. Foam can be removed easily if using a Juwel tank with it...

It may help if you specify your country and location :)

After some more thinking (isn't spare time evil?).. 2 F8 Puffers and a load of bumblebee gobies.. forget the chromides and knight goby.. want it relatively peaceful? :)

Okay, back on with this tank (been on holiday!). Trying to finalise the design but i'm hitting some potential conflicts, so welcome any input. From my experience, planted tanks are often very still with not a lot of surface movement (or any water movement). Pufferfish enjoy high oxygen levels...

Is it all used?

What kind of tank do you have them in?

Hi. I don't suppose you've still got this have you? Looking for a new tank for my parents and this would fit the bill. Let me know, cheers. :good:

I've made an Excel spreadsheet with the plants named in this thread, including pictures of each and some links of where to buy in the UK. Download here: http://di.cx/stuff/Brackish_Plants_List.xls (6.72 MB) Hope you find it useful 8-)

Ended up finding some JBL AquaBasis (thanks Carlovel1!) to use as the foundation substrate and bought some Unipac 'Congo' sand to go on top. Average grain size is 1.0mm like so: I was trying to find a compromise for the plants and animals, hopefully this is it!
