Hey guys. I just wanted to introduce myself to this blog as I have been getting more serious with my saltwater tank. I have a 150 gallon fish only tank that is an aggressive setup. I have an Emperor angel, 2 triggers, 2 wrasses, 4 different damsels, green wolf eel, fox face, and a lavender tang. I want to learn as much as possible about my fish when I plan to change them out or just add a new species, I want to know how to have the highest success rate by learning from you guys that have already tried it out. I will also like to post replies on my own personal experience so that I can help the newbies that are just getting started.

Welcome to the boards. What kind of triggers do you have? an emporer, and 2 triggers will grow to be a huge bio load, so a good protein skimmer would be in order if you do not have one. Good luck with the tank

Welcome Raccoon!
How long have you been in SWF? How big are your fish? Is your tank a 150 tall? What type of triggers do you have?
Look forward to sharing in your experience.

I have been in SWF for about 4 years. I used to have a 75 and a 150 but let my roommate keep the 75 with we moved out of the apt. I have an adult Emperor Angel which i have watched transform from a juvi. Now my triggers that you guys were asking about are a Rectangle and Undulated. I have had my Rectangle trigger since i bought my 150g a few years ago and hes doing great! The undulated i got from Saltwaterfish.com and has been health from day 1. He is a little shy sometimes but seems to get along with almost everyone. I know they say he should be in a tank by himself but none of my other fish have battle wounds from him. I also have a GREAT protein skimmer so my water quality is up to par.
My little 3 strip damsel seems to think hes as big as a horse because he has been trying to attack my when i was rearranging the rocks that fell yesterday.

sounds like you have a good handle on it already
Just keep a close eye on the undy as he grows, personally I would not trust one over 4" with tank mates

I agree 100%, they are "snappers", they can be great for months and months, and then snap and decide they want the tank to themselves and do it in short order....Great fish though.
