DIY LED Build
So, I've been wanting to upgrade to a LED fixture on my coral tank for a while now. As I looked online at all the fixtures I found they were either too much moolah or not bright enough IMO.

Internal Parasites and Your Puffer - What to watch for
This is my experience with IP's (internal parasites) and puffers. 99% of all puffers are wild caught. There are very few puffers that will breed in captivity. With that being said you "must" treat any puffer you purchase for IP's.
