Fairo. As you know, I'm a sucker for names.

I'm leaning more towards a lavarock aquascape than driftwood? Would that be too open for the puffers? I will have some larger plants near the back of the tank for them to hide in.

Can be done, but I'd personally opt for the wood; and smother it in moss, Anubias; trident etc at the back

I'm getting a kessil because a lot of the plants I like require high light (mostly red leaved).

In other words, anubias wouldn't work.

I'll try to find a nice piece of spiderwood this weekend. Most of my equipment is coming Friday, so I'll start setting up and cycling the tank then. Hopefully I'll have the time to provide a few updates.

Since I'm going to get more demanding plants like Alternanthera and Rotala, how much co2 should I dose? 3-5bps?

Go by a drop checker, green and you're good, yellow is too much; blue too little. Of course, you can ramp up the co2 to the max in the first few weeks to maximise plant growth and minimise algae

Just got the important stuff (excluding lighting). I'll order everything else soon. Sorry for the quality.
