(there is no clear dividing line in which nitrate is absolutely harmful; conditioned fishes and invertebrates have been cultured in water of several hundred (even thousands) ppm. All that can be agreed is less is better.)

6) Temperature, 72-80 degrees Fahrenheit. (Periodically higher, not generally a problem for tropical systems. Stability more important than any given point.)

Many local merchants are quite accommodating in such matters and in doing so earn a fair commission, negotiate a better price from a distributor for you, and finesse good will for all in the process.

Porcupine Puffer, anyone?
I just wanted to know if anyone has a porcupine puffer in their Fish only tank (Knowing they cant be kept in reef tanks)? I'm planning on adding a porcupine puffer including 2 true clownfish in a 50 gallon FOWLR tank in the near future.
