lmsmith Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have live rock in my marine tank which is dead coral, but you could put any rocks in there. In my brackish tank I had a big fake rock and fake plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 what is your fake rock made from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 It's a shop bought one. About $40 from animates, it's plastic. Waste of money, but it was a present, so not my money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 so would polystrene with sand on it be okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Poly with sand should be fine. They do jump, so you need a lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbreeder Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 you said yours play ball in the current. what sort of filter do you have? do they mind a strongish current? would they eat live goldfish? though i guess goldfish would not survive in brackish water.

I have a powerhead that pushes water around. They only have tiny fins, so can't deal with strong currents. Goldfish can't live in brackish water as far as I know, and whether or not they would eat them would depend on the puffer (size, temprament) and the size and speed of the goldfish. The filtration in a marine tank is using live rock, so it's biological filtration. I also have an overflow and return pump on my sump. I used to have an eheim 2215 on my brackish tank.
