Is this an Adequate pufferfish habitat?

For 2 years now I have owned a porcupine pufferfish by the name of Lord Pork ( or Porky for short). He is hands down one of the best pets I have ever had. So far it’s been pretty smooth sailing when it’s come to Porky. Besides if you count the times he’s gotten hole in the head and ick and I didn’t know what to do due to lack of experience. I’ve grown to love my little guy and have read a lot to help me understand how to care for him better. I currently am keeping him in a 125 gallon tank with a salinity level of 1.017 and it is working pretty well. I use a submerged 75g pump with a dial to allow me to put more or less oxygen into the water. I am going to put up some pictures to see if you guys think this is enough to keep my lil guy happy!

I would suggest raising the SG to 1.020 and adding a protein skimmer.

At that point, you can add live rock at 1/5-2 lbs/gal. Make caves & swim-throughs for him.
