Realistically, with multiple water changes a week, adequate filtration how long could I keep a young Mbu Puffer (6") in a 105 gallon (60x20x20) . My LFS just brought in a good looking group and I'm debating.
500 gallon would be the end game but realistically, I would want 9 months to a year to set it up.
Would those dimensions work for a year? If it would possibly stunt the growth or effect it's health I'll scrap the idea. I have a 105 gallon ready to go.
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Don't do it. Life has a way of throwing monkey wrenches and that's a hard fish to provide an adequate tank for. Just some advice from past mistakes

You might get 6 months out of it of your meticulous with waterchanges
