Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
+1 with not using the sand and just going out and buying new live sand. That sand is loaded with nitrates and probably sulfer dioxide. You need to rinse sand in saltwater until it is completely clean which is a lot of effort and a lot of saltwater plus you have to worry you did not get it all...
What kind of puffer is it? I know you say it is very timid, if I had to guess who was causing problems in your tank I would say puffer.
Did you test ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates?
An then an extra special thank you to m and m and some professional photos:

Ok stopped by the local deli and put in an order for:
Sloppy joe sandwich trays
Penne vodka
Antipasto
So if you are wondering what to bring, anything but those. We will also have soda and beer but more is always appreciated. Looking forward to tomorrow and everyone who is coming.
