Hamiltro's 55 Gallon

[hamiltro]

This tank has been setup for about a year now, first tank so been learning a lot with this tank

[hamiltro]

Puffer is one of the coolest fish i think, only sometime he eats the new tank mates 

he has grown a lot over the year.

Awesome! I don't know much about puffers, why do they puff up?

[Reefd Up]

Yeah, I was quite shocked to see a puffer with smaller fish and coral.  Is he leaving the coral alone?  

[hamiltro]

The clown fish from ___ UDflyer00 and ghurlag have seen the horror I go threw when re-doing anything with in the tank, she drew a little blood tonight, and the coral beauty all i can say is thanks Joel

Condy, Trigger looks really green from the top of the tank, and one of the best investments Copperband. I do have copper in my tank and love it

The Puffer seems to just puff up sometimes not really sure why, I can have my hand in there and act like i am going to grab him and nothing, when while watching TV we will be like hey look he puffed up. I think he does it when he gets the crabs but i have never seem him eat any, it just the only think i can think why he would.

I have had him since he was about maybe 2" he was small only cost 20 buck got 10 off since his tail had been bitten off, you can see in first pic really small tail. all I really have coral wise is condy, polyps, and xenia's and zoa's before the aiptasias killed it. but he has never missed with any of that

[hamiltro]

filter wise i had a 305 fluval but have removed it from system seem to run alot cleaner with just a skimmer running.

[HUNGER]

looken good  ya fluval suck    but u can use the fluval to just run carban in it

[ghurlag]

I can vouch for the female clown.  She wants hamiltro dead.  I think as far as the coral, the puffer is too busy with new inhabitants, or has he sees them, "snacks" to be interested in any of the coral
