I want to learn as much about them as I can, but I can't access the pufferpedia. Do I have to have a certain number of posts first? I just get a page that says "no input file selected"

I've heard they can be jumpers. I have an acrylic tank with holes cut out in the back for heaters, airlines, and HOBs to go into. The two big holes are covered by a plexiglass piece. Do I need to cover every little bit, like the 2 HOB slots that don't have filters in them? What about lighting? I heard that too bright of lighting can make them lose their color. My setup right now is T5HO - which would be great for growth on the live rock when I get it, but if it's too much I can downgrade.

Puffers are incredibly good jumpers, and can fit through holes smaller than you'd think. Definitely cover those two open HOB slots, and any other open spaces.
Yo ho, yo ho, a puffer's life for me.

If they are coverable then defo do it. As for the lights, see how you go. That shouldn't be too much but if it is your puffer will let you know. Or get some floating decor to diffuse the light a tad
