SW Puffer for 55 Gallon?

I just converted my 55 gal tank to saltwater. I have a Emperor 400 Biowheel, Seaclone 100 protein skimmer, and a 300 gph powerhead. I currently have 4 damsels in my tank for cycling purposes (may return some to LFS later). My tank will be fish only, with a few pieces of old (dead) live rock. I would like to keep a puffer in my tank. I have read that Tobies would be best for this size tank. I would really like to keep a dogface puffer, if possible (I plan on upgrading to a 125 gal in the next year or two) Do you think a dogface would be okay in a 55 in the meantime? I would love to hear your suggestions on a puffer to keep in this tank, as well as tankmates.
