I'm currently using a 29 Gallon Salt water tank with Crushed Coral. I plan on putting Lepoard Puffers in my tank but it's currently empty because I'm new to this and I dont have any idea what type of Filter or Equiptment I should grab or what will be easiest?

with salt water, there really is no easy. Have you ever kept fish before, or is this your first?

Welcome to the forum. I don't have any advice on salt water but if you end up getting a freshwater I'll be more than happy to pass along all the great advice I've recieved from here.

Welcome to FF

Saltwater is great if you can afford it. It sounds like you are on your way to great SW tank. Unfortunately I don't know much about it to help with the equipment. You can go to the equipment thread in the SW section, you might get an idea that way. Or you can run a search with the phrase "Saltwater Equipment" and a bunch of threads will come up from folks who have asked this same question

Some will say that salt water is too hard for a beginner, but it is my understanding it is not harder, just different. The basics are the same

Water, good equipment, and proper balance = great tank.

Glad you found us
