Nice tank and a good looking Puffer. I would recommend a background

Background ( as seen on the first pic. ) will protect your tank from a direct sun light.

Direct sun can create a BIG algae growth

Just go to a craft store and buy some cloth, double it and use stick on velcro to attach it to the tank around the top rim. You can get creative and inexpensive.

Lots & lots more decor! Tall, medium & short plants, big fake mangrove roots from Petsmart (or similar).

Here are a couple of my puffer tanks:

Very nice PP :D
What's your substrates/plants though? I take it you're prolly full marine there? (can't tell the size of the blur :P)

I used crushed coral & all fake decor. PITA to move out of the way to clean under & rebuild. I used that decor from mid-BW to full SW.

My substrate is sand and the plants are fake. I will be adding some live rock in it as well. It's not full marine yet, but im slowly bringing it up to full marine.
