120 Litre Species Tank Setup Advice Needed

Not heard of a Peacock Puffer and google just turns up Marine puffers with that name? Any ideas of other names. There are a few wet pet puffers that you could have in there but they are mainly ambush predators so are not very active....
Takifugu Ocellatus is the latin name i believe also known as a Fufu or Orange Ring

An old thread on T. ocellatus with input from a resident fish guru on the forum, namely Neale Monks...

http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/154790-takifugu-ocellatus/

Highlights from brief read of the thread are 15-18C water (so a chiller may be required), 1.010 brakish salinity; relatively massive turnover of surface water rippling to keep the oxygen levels high.
 
I also looked into these when researching my SAP's as my LFS has them in stock. Very vibrant markings, but require more and more salt to be added when mature. Near on marine in some cases i believe?

Fugu not Fufu. lol.
