I'm considering a fire coral eel. Can one go in a 75g? I'm thinking of maybe just getting a 75g for an aggressive setup, or do it in my 125g. There are a lot of possibilities, but that's off subject.
Looking at the scientific name of the bannana moray and fire coral eel, they are both the same on one site. Are they the same eel, different color morphs? How small of tank can one comfortably live in for four years?

Ya that would work. I would get a Sohol instead of a sailfin IMO. They are more aggressive (In your situation) and the colors are nicer.

Ok I know I need to upgrade filtration so I was wondering if there was a problem getting a used skimmer? I want to get a UV and a canister going with the skimmer for filtration. I will upgrade around Christmas because that's when I will most likely get some money, LOL.
Also what would the order need to be for my stocklist?
-Foxface(already in there)
-Blue Hippo Tang
-Sailfin Tang(already in tank but wouldn't mind getting rid of if I need more room)
-Dog Face or Porcupine Puffer
-Niger Trigger
-Eel (zebra or snowflake or fire coral)

Mike - it seems like your stock list changes frequently? I think what you will want to do is figure out what the tank size will eventually be that you will house these fish or future fish.
I like the stock list, but you should be careful with the eel. As you have probably read, these are very tempermental and could potentially eat everything in your tank.
I love my Hippo as well as my niger. My porcupine was one of my all time favorite (like a puppy dog). Eels are cool, but not for my tank and fish (maybe an eel only tank).
as for your filtration, I think that the canister filter and a UV would be great. They are not required as you can do the same thing with regular water changes and sponge changes.

Ya well finaly I'm able to make a stocklist. My stock list now is just a wing it one, and I think looking at all the options is good.
