It's about 134 gallons by my calculations. So above the minimum requirements. Make sure you decorate it well and give him space to hide like a cave or something
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Finally an update!
I decided to go all out so I ordered a 900l (just under 240 gallons) tank that should be arriving next week I hope.
The measurements are 200x75x60 (about 6.56 feet long, ~2.5 feet wide and 2 feet tall).
Will post some pics when it gets here.

Finally another update!
I had to postpone the new tank plans for a few weeks but finally got to it again!
Just to convince you guys it's really up and running again I'll post some pictures. (Taken with a mobile phone, but still..)
I decided to build my own bench for the new tank and here's some pictures of the build;
Step 1:
Step2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Step 5:
And here's the lively Fahaka that is going to get a new home!

Thank you! I've always called Figge (that's the puffers name) a "him" but you never know.
