I know that feeling... I live pretty close to the saw mill I used to work at... I can hear it running night shifts again from my house. That was my shift...
Anyone have an opinion on a puffer in a reef tank? I have a huge snail problem anyway and the Dwarf morray hasn't made a dent, so I doubt it could, and the triggers haven't managed to catch the shrimp, so I think they are smart enough..

I have at least 1 in there, and another is going in as well..
the issue is that I need to take the 300 down.. I suppose the Angel and puffer can life in the swamp for now.. he seems to ignore softies and thats all I have left in the tank so I can't figure a problem.. other than maybe mixing it up with the 'nem

I'm not sure I'd chance a puffer. I've seen them do a number on other fish.
Actually, I think the cheapest long term way to cut down on snails would be to add a bunch of hermit crabs. They will "evict" quite a few snails for new homes and won't cause you headaches down the road.

That approach worked for me, ive witnessed quite a few hermits ripping snails out of theyre shell and eating them and then stealing theyre shell

Hoping to downsize the system.. but I can't do the work to take it down.... The fish are in there, but I can't see more than that.
LED system is still sitting in the living room... I can't get the lights down, and put the new ones up... my legs just don't work very well any more.
I did however just make it so I can see in the main tank for the first time in ages.... I don't seem to have lost any fish.. Several of the Zoa's and all the green open brains, but I suspect someone is eating them.
Actually got around to testing and Salinity was sitting about 1.020, so I have been bringing it back up topping off with salt water as high as I can get it to mix. Suppose I should watch that occationally as I still pull several gallons a week and top off by sight. Suppose I should be happy the pics I'm about to post...
