what type of filter is that....looks to small for a tank that size. You want to shoot for 8-10x turn over.

Sand wise I think it would be ok, looking in the puffpeida they dont seem to bury so you dont need a deep sand bed, but you do need a lot of plants for them to hide in.

well, im sure you know, but the powerhead does nothing for filtration, just water movement. That filter is way undersized for that size of a tank. Does it have any writing on the filter so we know what the water turn over is?
