That's one hairy beast!

Is there any decor? They like hiding out in plants & caves. I still think you need substrate & much better filtration. It looks more like a temporary holding tank, then his permanent home.
 
Yes, there's a 3"Y pipe in there, a 36" floating plant & some driftwood.
A hydro IV isn't good enough for a 50long with one 3.5" fish?

You have no substrate = little surface area for bacteria to grow (or to let the fish feel it is in a comfortable, natural environment) & very little in way of surface area with the media you are using & no mechanical filtration of any kind.
 
There is substrate on the other side of the tank. He just hangs out more on the side without any

I have an extra AC70 laying around. I'll have to get some media, but I'm guessing you'd recommend it over the sponge.

PP already gave you the run down on what to do for this puffer, so all i am going to say is, that is one nice hairy puffer... looks like an old man already...
 
Thanks

OK I just picked up a bag of PFS, so I'll get more substrate in there ASAP
