No harm intended, but if you're counting the days until your next fish you're approaching the whole SW thing wrong.
Just closely monitor the tank over the next month or two, post lots of pics here, and you/the members here will see when your tank is ready for another fish!;)

Drsfosterandsmith are the best. I get things in 2 days from them, but granted they are in the same state :).

Also biggles if you REALLY want to do something with your tank, try teaching your fish to eat from your hand. All my puffers, my ctenopoma, and my clown eat from my hand.

FYI inTank mediabaskets is not an outdated sketchy website. If you do your research you'll learn that they're one of the best companies to buy all your accessories for if you own an AIO reef (you do)

Any vids of you handing feeding the puffer? Also what kind of puffer and was it easy to get it to hand feed?

My Valentini and my dwarf hand feed. I could make a vid, but I first have to get him through krill withdrawal (he is in rehab.) my ctenopoma is the most fun to hand feed, I can hold it a few inches above the surface and he will jump up to get it!
Training them isn't all that hard. Take their favorite food that is big enough to hold in your fingers, like a clam, and make sure they eat it without you holding it. In my case my puffer hates clam, so I would always do it with krill. Then start holding the food with the tips of your fingers and offering it to him, and if he doesn't take it from your fingers, just drop it in after about a minute. Eventually he will just take it right or lit of your fingers, and will soon I after your fingers! It took about 2-3 months to get my dwarf to eat from my fingers. My clown just doesn't care, when I am working with corals or moving things around in the tank, we will swim over to my arm and just bite me! Good luck!
Sorry for the derail biggles :).
