    That's some big fish. While you're ok gallon-wise, I hope your skimmer will be a beast. Puffers are some dirty fish. You do know that a reef tank is out of the question with this selection, right?

    thanks for replies i run an octopus SRO-5000INT, or Super Reef Octopus 5000 Internal Protein Skimmer so i think im ok for skimming, i do love reefs but the personality of the purposed fish out weighs that desire.
    thanks for your input.
