Tanuki- You can get them at Fish4U already in brackish water for about $5 each. I love mine and haven't ever had issues with keeping them with corals, inverts, etc.

SGH360- He is a couple years old (in my tank) but he was an adult when I bought him. He's probably about 8.5-9" now (getting time for a bigger tank). Big smile

Hey I used to have "Green" Spotted puffers in my Cichlid tank. Back when I had mine they came to Petco as brackish fish and were acclimated to SW.  Now the only time I see them FS is as freshwater fish. 

Do you know of a shop that sells them as Saltwater fish still?

Thanks! Hopefully I'll make progress faster with the warmer weather. Remodeling one tank and setting up another at the same time is getting to be a bit much LOL]]> Mon, 21 Mar 2011 13:16:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40637&PID=406442&title=steves-180-gallon-mixed-reef#406442 <![CDATA[Steve's 180 Gallon Mixed Reef : Amazing! ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40637&PID=406437&title=steves-180-gallon-mixed-reef#406437 Author: ksmart

David- The puffer does great doesn't bother anyone and just rides the current all day.

Seti007- Thanks! Your tank is amazing as well, I LOVE all the SPS!

I'll be procuring my new coral over the next couple weeks as well as changing the rockscape a little so I'll update as I make more progress.
