Porcupine and Dog Face

Me and my partner are talking for the future of a marine tank, we are really hooked. He wants one anyway and it makes sense to put my dream of a porcupine puffer in there as well.

The porcupine needs 450 litres, would probably add 100 litres to allow for other fish, if to put a dog face in there as well an extra 380 litres? Or like say a dwarf puffer tank (first is 5 gallon then following extras 3 gallon) what would be the minimum for a porcupine and dog face?

It is only idea stages at the moment, costing up and looking into the sorts of fish my partner would like to add to make a community tank :)

There is a gal at Reef Central that tells of a horrible ending to that combo.

Really?! Not compatible?

Don't really know why I find that so shocking as no idea - but do. Porcs in general then by themselves, have seen often in community tanks with the right tank mates.

Right..leave well alone and stick to my soul mate porc when we get to a marine tank :)

Pufferpunk, which parties were injured or do I dare ask died? :(
