Hello to all the nice people out there that dont have to try and act like they know more about saltwater fish than everyone else. i dont understand why you cant put a small trigger or five in a 55 gal until they grow up to max size for the tank then trade them in? I dont know about all you out there but i like variety and am always looking for somethin diff. Now that i got that off my shoulders for my question. Starting up a 55 with 100 # of sand and 40 # rock. Im plannin on these fish for it. some i already got.
1. Huma Huma trigger about 5 inches
2. Undulated trig about 4 inches
3. Snowflake about 12 inches long
4. Dwarf lion about 3 inches
Curious if i can fit wrasse in to, looking into assassin, red coris, and somethin like a mexican blue throat not sure if name is right... Also would like to get somethin in there that can survive the killers and eat some green up like a Foxface any ideas or comments welcome. but dont treat me like im dumb every person ive ever talked to at a lfs says diff things about diff situations. O i got an emperor 400 and 200 running on it and have a cpr backpak 2 that i could also throw on it if needed.

too big of a bioload, triggers will eventually kill lion, and the waker triggers, undulated is one of the more aggressive, snofalke should be OK, id would do dwarf lion, SFE, and other fish you like, NO triggers though, they would QUICKLY outgrow the tank
