Pepsi is about 3-3.5 inches now. He's grown like a weed! His SG is already at 1.011 and we're looking at getting him to full marine in the next few months.
I was wondering do I REALLY Need a Sump? It's just a 32 gallon tank...and we don't really have room in the stand for a sump...

I'd say you certainly do not *need* a sump for that size tank, but you might want to look into getting a protein skimmer...it kind of depends on your bioload: one fish, not much bioload and so not that much of a need. Pushing the tank to its limits in terms of fish population, yes, you'll need something to handle all the waste being pumped out - and you have to keep in mind that puffers put out a lot of waste and are messy eaters. My preference would be simply to put a nice power head in there, use a small protein skimmer, and get about 30 lbs of live rock. And dream about the day when your current 36 can serve as the sump for your new 150.
