I would move the tank so it is not in direct sunlight or get something to cover the backs and sides. There isn't very many things to combat algae in a brackish tank and direct sunlight will surely cause a lot of algae. Also if that live plant starts to die off remove quickly, it may cause an ammonia spike. Good water maintence is a must for all puffers. Nice tank though. You can add bumble goby's, they are a fine fish.

ok thanks!, what about snails how often do they breed? any1 got a good care sheet for breeding snails and then feeding puffs with the offspring

Different snails reproduce in different ways. Your best option would be to get a small tank and a small live plant or two, if you want. Check out some of your lfs to see if they have any pest snails in any of there tanks. They are usually happy to give those away. Then put them in the small tank. Pest snails will reproduce rapidly within a month or two. Feed the snails cucumber or zuccini
