I would say go with a prizm skimmer. It will skim like mad, and is less of an eyesore than the seaclone. I would not trust just a cpr for filtration. Keep your filter.

Well, I have a clown trigger, a niger trigger, my favorite huma huma trigger, and a porc. puffer in one tank, with a blue tang. I had a beautiful dogface puffer, but he jumped out of the tank. They all get along fine, a little bit of nipping now and then, but no fin damage or anything...

Black, purple with lateral line disease, blue, brown in that order. I know it sounds wierd, but a friend has the purple with the disease, and it gives it these cool white lines, the fish has had it for years, and seems to be healthy.

The black tang I bought looks like a purple tang, just not purple. It is holding it's own right now with my triggers, and I love it. Just don't tell my wife what I paid for it. Have you ever seen a black dogface puffer? My lfs has one, and I want it, but the 125 still has to cycle. I don't like...

Finally bought myself a big tank. Was going to get a 220, but never would have made it up the stairs. Can't wait for it to cycle, triggers and puffer will love it in there.

Clown triggers will attack inverts. My puffer and my huma left mine alone, but the clown taught them bad habits.

Bluegoose, I have had the huma and the puffer about six months. I had to convert a 75 from fresh to salt for them, they are growing fast. I got the clown three weeks ago. The triggers are both about 3.5 inches, and the puffer is 5. The puffer is getting fat, too. My next fish will be a spiny...

Short answer, depends on the fish. I have this combo in a 75 and it is working so far, should work in your 100.

I have a clown, a huma, and a dogface puffer. The puffer rules the tank. Do add the clown last, it worked for me.

Might be a bad idea. Adding triggers of different sizes and aggression levels can be bad news for the small guy, double in your case. I have a clown and a huma huma with a dogface puffer. Feeding time can get a bit rough, but otherwise all is well, I think because the triggers are equally...

Always remember, fish don't read charts.

Why is a sand sifting star bad? Just curious, because mine is doing fine, really fun to watch, buries and surfaces without moving much.

I have both black sand and normal sand. The black sand tank is always looking "dirty" because it is really easy to see any lighter colored particles in it. Having said this, I did get used to it, and now I actually like the look. Sort of...

The cleanup crew in my aggressive tank consists of me and a bucket. Anything else has been eaten. I just run the skimmer, and water quality stays fine. One thing about triggers, mine tend to hide food. Make sure you watch them eat, or you will have a mystery ammonia spike.

Astrea snails are hardy, check out halloween hermits, look great, but most of all, be original. I have sally lightfoot crabs. Cleaner shrimp are great, they will climb onto your hand to eat, not afraid of anything.
