Acclimating a Baby Green Spotted Puffer to Reef Aquarium.

[Mirza]

I wanted to keep a green spotted puffer in my reef aquarium. I began by setting up my tank and cycling it for 3 weeks with cured live rock.

 

I added CUC the third week:

1 scarlet hermit

4 Astrea snails

2 Dove Snails

1 Peppermint Shrimp

 

The salt gravity was 1.016 the first day I added the puffer and it seemed to do fine. The next week I raised the Salt Gravity to 1.020 . The fifth week I added more salt to raise gravity to 1.022

 

The puffer seems to be doing fine and likes the liverock. I will also be adding a false perc with the puffer in the coming weeks.

 

I hope this works out and the puffer stays alive.

Nice. How big is it? A larger one would be more tolerant to salinity changes probably.
