Yeah the baffles in a rubbermaid container seem like more trouble than anything. I think I may rethink my sump. I actually have a few empty 33G tanks that would work, I just did not want to have to try drilling them. Might save me some trouble in the end though and would look nicer!
I will take pics of my GSP as soon as I can...I have no camera now. I can try with my camera phone though. Hes been a very healthy and tough GSP...Gone through ich twice and now even if other fish get ich, he NEVER does! He was also bit really badly on his belly a few months ago and it healed amazingly. I am very impressed with how tough their skin really is. I would guess its because it can stretch so well. I have never seen his puff up yet and Ive had him three years. My porcupine seems to puff up a few times a week for no apparent reason besides maybe wanting attention because he does it when Im watching the tank. |

Some Porcs have been known to puff up for practice/attention. Does your's spit at you?
Sweet, can't wait for the pics. Pics for both please! Pm SeaHorse_Fanatic, I think he has some glass drill bits, and will drill the tanks for a minor fee. Do you have your GSP in marine sg now? |

My porc spits with ridiculously good aim...He has spat right into my mouth twice now. My GSP is in marine. He has been for about a year now and hes actually gotten brighter and more active. He seems to be doing very well in full marine. I got him in frashwater of course, even though he was already a bit big to still be in freshwater |

Yeah! As soon as I have the new tank up your welcome to come by. I will let you know. How many puffers do you have? You mentioned the Celyons...any others? Where did you get yours? I have not seen very many Ceylons around Vancouver before.

Sweet!
Only got 2 ceylons atm. In the future, will be getting a porc and a C. schoepfii (spiney burrfish). We actually got the from her lab proffessor at SFU. They were going to be used for some experiments I think. I really regret not saving more of them. The rest of them died cuz no one was taking care of them. There were about 10 total. |

Thats cool that you saved the Celyons!
Anyways, back to plumbing... How hard is it to drill glass tanks? I think I might want to just take advantage of the spare tanks I have and use them as sump/refugium. I have seen people "drill" them using a dremmel (sp.), has anyone here done this? I would be drilling relatively thin glass (1/4" I think) which actually makes me more nervous. Seems like drilling thicker glass would be easier. |
