I have 90G FOLR tank that is about 5 months mature with about 60 lbs of live rock, sump, skimmer and UV sterilizer. Following is list of what I have now, knowing as some of these get bigger, I will have some tough decisions to make:
Clown Trigger (small)
Huma Huma Trigger (small)
Niger Trigger (small)
Yellow Tang (medium)
Hipo Tang (medium)
Green Chromis (small)
2 Ocellarus Clowns (medium)
Porcupine puffer (small)
Snowflake eel (small)
Sand sifting Goby (medium)
Xmas Blenny (medium)
Red general Star (not getting picked on yet)
Chocolate Chip Star " " "
First off, when the triggers get larger, I know they may outgrow the tank and will get more aggressive. I do 20G water changes every two weeks and my water parameters are real good so at this point I think my bio-load is OK. Am I at my limit to add anything? Am I in for a disaster? My wish list includes a flame angel, but I don't think it's a good idea. Let me know what you think and hammer away at me if I deserve it.

Sounds like you're gearing up for world world 3 to break loose one day lol.
This would probably classify as a do not do situation. :)

The big question is "which of your triggers will snap first and kill everything else?" I'm betting on the clown trigger, although the huma huma could go first. This is a dangerous situation, and I wouldn't be surprised if the triggers snapped before they got too big to house in a 90 gallon tank.

Yikes... Any ideas on how fast they grow so I get an idea on when to expect this? Is there a bio load concern or just aggression? So I guess adding is out of the question? Should i expect smallest to go first? Any of these that won't make it to the Trigger menu? Any chance I get lucky or is it certain doom? Thanks.
:cry:

Wow, not sure what to say. Love to go with 180g tank but with what it would cost, it's not in the cards. I guess I'll have to keep a close eye on things and take necessary steps. For now, peace reigns and the yellow tank is the nastiest so far... By far. Thanks.

In less than a year most of those fish will be fully grown........Within 6 months I would find new homes or get a bigger tank.......We all want a bigger tank

If his tank is going to be doomed why would a larger tank change that???? If these fish are not comparable won't a bigger tank give them just more room to hide?
