Huma, Niger & tangs?

[offshore80]

I'm looking into getting a Niger, Huma, Foxface and some tangs. Will they be OK in my 175? I have nothing but 100 lbs of live rock now. I was looking at getting only small one and letting them grow together. Will this work?

Or how about an Eel mixed in there? dwarf lion? What combination can I go with? I know anything can happen. I just want the best combination of fish. I love them all. I know that's my problem... That's why I have 4 tanks already.

Have you considered a grouper?
How about a Harliquin Tusk?
Check those out! Great personality and hardy, plus easy to feed!

Thanks for your feed back. My tank is still cycling. I've noticed pictures on the board of tanks and I see a whole variety of fish mixed together. So it's difficult to know what will work. The dilema is my wife likes tangs, I like triggers and my little girl want an eel. What a combination.

OK,
Since I last posted. I've added 125 lbs of LR, Huma Huma, Niger, Hippo Tang, Coral beauty & Clown Tang. Everyone is getting along fine so far and my water parameters are doing good. My Skimmer sucks so I'm going to replace it. I've looked into a Tusk and really like them. I just don't want to add to much live stock to quick. But, I've heard with an aggressive set up If you wait to long in adding fish the territorial wars are fierce. Should I add my Tusk now or later or not at all?

How big is your huma huma?

 

[offshore80]

He's about 6-7 inches.

At that size he has probably matured into an aggressive specimen. Watch for signs of aggression.

Also watch your Hippo Tang and Coral Beauty...my experiences with both of them demonstrated they were pretty docile fish...
What have you been feeding your triggers?
