The two leopard puffers will need marine salt and will need a minimum of 30 gallons each. For both of them you will need 60 gallons. They start off as brackish then move to full saltwater as adults.

As it says in that article, you need to start saving for a MUCH bigger tank if you plan on keeping all of those puffers.
