Sorry for the double post but I have a stocklist that I like here it is.
1 blue throat trigger
1 banna peel angle
1 snowflak eel
1 atlantic blue tang
Would this work?

You might get some people say the tank is not big enough for a tang, but I think it is and you'll only have 3 swimming fish, so it won't be too crowded. Make sure you have a good cover for the tank because snowflakes are great at escaping through any small holes.

Yeah Iv'e heard their escape artist just a quick question what kind of filter would be good for a 100gal I'm kinda new to this.

A 30gal sump with a wet/dry filter and skimmer would be the best. Triggers and eels are messy eaters so a good skimmer is a must.

You should make your own sump. It's cheaper that way and it's very easy to do. All you need is a 30gal tank, some pieces of plexiglass and tank silicone sealant. Do a search here for sumps and you'll get some examples.

I Oh do you think maybe instead of the blue throat I could get a niger?

My Niger is the meanest fish in the tank but he's got great personality. They also get really big but they're not fast growers. I don't know, the blue throat might be a better choice for a 100gal. If you do get a Niger, get a small one. This way you'll be ok for a few years.

Ok I think I'll keep one and see how it goes thanks for all your help. I have one last question should I put any of the fish in first or last?

Nigers are fun to watch. Like yesterday, mine decided to guard the algae clip.
Even though he wasn't eating any of the algae, he wasn't gonna let any other fish come close to it. Did that for a few hours, then went back to normal.

They are really fun to watch my friend had one and it did something new every day.

This might be pushing it but could I maybe add a wrasse to the mix?

They're compatible with all the fish on your list. As far as overcrowding, if you have a good skimmer and filtration system I think it'll be ok. Just don't add all these fish at once. Do it slowly, one at a time.
