blue tang?

[pluchinsky]

i might be making my new tank an aggressive set-up & i don't know much about aggressive fish. first, since a blue tang's considered peaceful, can it hold its own in an aggressive setup or should i choose a different tang? what about a snowflake eel or a porcupine puffer?

The puffer and eel would be fine. The tang, I dont know. I have looked at naso's for my tank but still undecided if I want one or not.

The eel and puffer are fine, and it really depends on what you put in there with the blue tang. They can hold their own against a lot, but it all depends on what 'aggressive' fish you choose. Plus, it depends on how big you get the tang. You definitely want it a little on the larger side.

would a large blue tang be ok with a smaller humu or niger trigger? maybe an angel if i can fit one in?

A large tang and small trigger sounds ok to me. I had a queen angel and she ruled the tank. May have to watch an angel stressing the tang.
