I plan on doing a 75 gallon, FOWLR, Reef, or Agressive tank. I don't know what fish i want to put and would like some ideas. If you have a 75 gallon agressive i would like to know the stocklist and would like some pics so that i could get some ideas. thanks

IMO this is too wide open. Like saying hey guys I'm buying a 4 bedroom house what should I put in it?
Decide up front: Reef, FOWLR, Aggressive/Passive.
Then decide do you want lots of small active species/corals or 1 large show piece species.
Do you want this to be a grow out tank or a tank for life?
Now you are getting closer.
I've had the following in my 75g FOWLR.
1. Mixed Damsels, Clowns, smaller eels
2. Small Triggers, and groupers
3. And now a DME
Again you need to decide a more limited list based on lighting/filtration equipment you have and what you want.
Hope this helps.

Ok, so eels typically means lions are risky as the eels can accidently be stung. I have also seen Triggers go after eels as well.
Both said I have also seen them kept together.
Eel has to stay 32" or smaller in a 75g if all alone and 24" MAX if to be kept with other fish.
Maybe a Huma Huma, a Goldentail, White Eye, and or SFE. And maybe top it off with a nice colorful Wrasse (Tusk, or others that max around 10"). Possibly a Lunar even though they can be 50/50 on killers.
Then throw in a couple of mean little colorful Damsels and you have yourself a nice colorful community that no shrimp would want to live in..lol.
