    Porcupine puffer?

    I have heard that fish like a puffer and boxfish release toxins into the water when they are stressed or dieing.. Do porcupine puffers do this also? If so, what affect would the toxins have upon a 150gal? Thanks everyone!

    I found a nice website selling zoas that has 50$ overnight shipping, and 25$ two-day shipping. Would zoas be alright for two days in shipping? I'd be kind of nervous to find out :(

    Sump pump and return pump question..

    I currently have a mag 12 for my skimmer, which I am working to hook up once I get my sump lined out. My question is this, I'm assuming the return pump must be the same strength as the sump pump? Or does there need to be a difference? Any suggestions of brands or models?
