I have posted some questions on here recently about turning my 150g into a aggressive tank. I have had many different responses pertaining to the stock list. Below I have posted my wish list. Could anyone w/ adequate experience, not what they have heard please comment.
Primary Wants:
SFE, Clown Trigger, Huma Trigger, Stars and Stripes Puffer, and either an emperor angle or Powder Blue Tang.
If I can add anything else or something from my primary list needs removed here are the rest of fish I'd like:
Either the Emperor Angle or Powder Blue, Lion, Niger Trigger, any other puffer or tigger, and another eel.
I also have posted my filtration before but I want to go over it again for anyone who hasn’t seen my other post.
ASM g3, Red Sea Ozone, 29 fuge w/ dsb, 200lbs lr, 100lbs ls, 27x water movement, chem-pure, and the system totals 205g.
thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have a nice system in the works.
As for your fish:
SFE - would work fine.
Clown trigger - Aggressive, but fine with what you are planning. Should be one of the last fish added
Humu Humu trigger - good choice as one of your first fish added since he is less aggressive than the clown
S and S puffer - He will go fine, but he should be added before the triggers to establish his aggression. Juveniles are not very aggressive when it comes to feeding.
Emporer/Powder Blue - I would go with the powder blue because they will not get as big as the Imperator. The Emporer Angel will need a bigger tank eventually, where you would get away with the powder blue, especially since your tank is 6' long.

Maybe a trigger or eel, definitely not a lion, as the triggers will rip the lion apart.
What did you have in mind?

If I added another tigger it would be a Niger. As for an eel maybe a Leopard Eel not real sure on that. I would like to add an angle but as you said an emperor angle is too large for my tank. I would really like to add the Niger as well as the eel. But If you think thats too much I would go with an eel.
Thanks Again for the help.

Do have another question for you. I asked this in another post. I have a 4inch Domino. Would he make it in that tank???

Ya, I agree with you about not adding a lion but have succsefully kept volitans and dwarf lions with triggers many years with out have injury to the lion.

So your saying its not recommended but it has been done. But I would rather just get another tigger or eel then get the lion and risk it.

Right. Not recommended but there are some rare times that it does work out okay. I like your idea of just getting another eel or trigger though.

I was reading that clowns after a few months turn evil and may nip or kill other tank mates... This statement sound right???

I have seen some real nasty ones, but I have dealt with a lot of passive ones too. That is why it is suggested to be one of the last fish added.

I like the stocking list but about clown triggers being evil, most of the time in my expirence with any larger agressive fish it is becasue of the owner. The trigger must be fed on a schedule, Do Not Deviate from it. Keeping invertabrates in the tank such as reef safe hermit crabs, sea urchins, snails, will keep the clown triggers agression off other fish and on to the invertabrates. Get clown when it is small, not to small, say 2 to 3 inches is good. These are tricks you have to keep in mind when keeping a fish of this tempormants, this is how I was able to keep a picasso and clown trigger in the same tank with a dwarf fuzzy lion and volitan lion for many years with out one single mishap that I ever witnessed. Still not recommended. Hope this helps! Dont worry too much about the clown
