also does the inch per gallon work for salt water aquariums?

I wouldn't go with the inch per gallon rule, although many people will debate. My general rule for saltwater is 1" per 10 gallons. Obviously, this is not set in stone. You can have a 2-3" clownfish in a 5 gallon nano. You just can't keep any other fish in there with it. Saltwater fish cannot be heavily stocked the way that freshwater fish can.
Check out this link: www.wetwebmedia.com There, you can serve through the marine fish articles and read about porcupine puffers as well as how to properly set up a saltwater aquarium. Good luck!

The inch per gallon rule never works.
Porcupine puffers need at least 125 gallons.
