You could try a pair of tomato clownfish, they seem to work well with "nice' puffers.

Yeah will definitely consider about the clowns. Is it possible if i add in some zoas or mushrooms?

Also is there any recommendation on skimmer and flowrate for the pump? the sump is gonna be about 4x1.5x1
is the Deltec APF 600 good enough?

Will the skimmer be in sump or HOB. You can try softies, it's up to the puffer whether he'll eat them or not.

i think recommended for puffs is a nice 8-10x turnover. the more the better as long as your not pushing your puff around with that current lol
