Are there any cleaner fish that go with triggers or puffers? I know dumb question

I got a porcupine puffer 3 days ago and he will not eat the food I give him. I have tried the frozen cube stuff and fresh seafood and he won'even acknowledge it. The store he came from I am poretty sure fed him feeder fish only. Am I gonna have to feed him feeders?

What do you guys feed your porcupine?

Ok someone gave me their old SeaClone and I have it going now. My question is, how much air do I want? Right now, there are alot of little bubbles coming out of the skimmer. I assume this means there is too much air. I just need to know what the adjustment should be.

I went to my LFS and he has gotten in CPR Bak Pac Combo Biofilter/Skimmer. I was wondering if anyone knows about these. Is it better to just get the skimmer by itself or go for the combo?

Also what about a porcupine puffer?

Ok I am new to SW and am going to setup a QT tank. My question is what do I need to be looking for while the fish is in QT?

Now doesn't a niger trigger get too large for a 60 gal? And I know the answer is probably no on this, but would an undulated trigger be too aggressive?

how would you clean sand? I know newbie question!

Ok, so what would you say is the best skimmer in the $100-160 range, or there abouts.

It would be a HOB. Well I couldn't afford the remora right away. I would have the tank before the skimmer. Do I need the skimmer right away? And what is the difference between say a seaclone or prizm and something like the aquac remora?

I am getting a 60 gal. tank and will need a protein skimmer. Budget is an issue, so I was wondering which ones you guys would suggest that maybe doesn't cost a ton.

Any ideas for good tankmates for a picasso in a 60 gal?

Well here's my problem. I currently have a 29 gal and am going to upgrade to either a 60 or 80 gal. They have the same exact footprint the only difference is height. The 60 will run me $120 and the 80 will be $190. There is a bit of a budget issue since I will be needing to get a protein...
