your tang might be ok but i wouldn't keep one in anything less than 100 gal and the trigger will simply out grow your tank

what would u reccomend to keep instead of the trigger?

Yeah, I thought we talked about the shrimp before... most likely they will be lunch for the trigger.
Personally looking at your list I would just eliminate the trigger and add more detrivores.... many more... in my 35 I have about 30 red-legged hermits and 30 various snails.
What's your plan for live rock?

Nothing... with a tang, a flame angel, 3 chromis and a pair of clowns you're going to be doing great. Don't push your bioload, it's a new tank.

alright, well i wanted my tank to be a swim tank so not that much LR like maybe 30-40 pounds and some fake baserock.

So youre saying my mild mannered-get long-with everyone(2 other fish and lots of nails and crabs) Huma Huma is going to turn into the spawn of Satan and stop being buddies with his tank mates? Crap!

I overstalked my tank once...
...so it got a restraining order on me.
OUCH. :joy:
