Hello again everyone, so I had a dogface puffer as a baby, and he would be active but then go lay on a rock and look sick, now I have a neon blue spotted puffer that seems to do the same thing, he’ll lay down and look sick, but then swim and his color comes back.

I currently have a 40 gallon saltwater tank. I want to eventually have a decent amount of fish and move up in tank size to at least a 75 gallon if that’s big enough for triggers and puffers and tangs. Do you believe 75 gallon is enough? And For filtration do I need to have a protein skimmer or...
