Hey folks I was wanting to do a FOWLR tank, 140g. It will be sumped and I was planning on putting the majority of the LR in the sump and a nice pile in the tank. In the sump I was alo planing on putting an algae filter in as opposed to a P. Skimmer. In the tank I want to house either a Golden puffer or a stars/stripes puffer. I wanted to know if I feed the puffer plenty of clams/crustations ect how often will I have to trim its teeth? also can anyone provide a good artical on how this is done with large marine puffers?
 
given enough hard shelled foods, you will never have to do your own dentistry. keep it varied for them like clams, mussell, maybe some crayfish or crabs once in a while. but here is the teeth trimming article i could find. it has smaller puffers in it but i imagine it would go for larger ones as well. i would just double check.
