First reading

I did the first water test today and here were the results :
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
pH: 7.5

:( Not what I was looking for, unless my tank cycled in four days, my ammonia sources aren't doing too much good. Solution? Filter from my girlfriends tank and literally putting the snail farm I have going in the tank.

I am a little worried that there will be too many snails in the tank when the puffs come and they will eat too many and get sick, however I will worry about that when it gets closer to putting them in.

I need to get new lights for the tank the first ones I got won't work and I don't want to use the incandescent lights that came with it.

Good luck!! I can't wait to see your complete tank; puffers and all! Where do you think you'll get your puffers?
