Welcome! I also am running a FOWLR and have some similar fish, porcupine puffer, flame angel, etc. Glad to have another puffer fan here. I guess to be honest I cheat on the FOWLR as I found some snails my puffer wont munch and help with the algae. What do you feed?
 
Hi all, I am new to R2R, just want to say hi and let everyone know a bit about my tank....My tank is running beautifully, but I look forward to hearing and learning from lots of you experienced tankers out there. :)

Herbie System (just upgraded, so much better and quieter)
Return Pump Reef Octo VarioS - 8
Aqua UV 57 Watt
Neptune Apex System
AquaMaxx Fluidized Carbon Media Reactor - XL

Tank Mates:

Hi John. Welcome to R2R. Lots of knowledgable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed. Beautiful tank you have.

My puffer loves Calamari... While everyone else is nibbling, he is gobbling up chunks of calamari. I also feed him Krill chunks, he likes those as well. He is a good eater. I feed 2x a day and you can always tell when he is hungry. LOL. I had snails and shrimp in there and he did not bother them, but i took them out as i added some copper to control ich. I have a small tank with inverts in them now.
