Depending on the kind of triggers it seems feasible for that size tank. I would avoid the really aggressives such as clown, undulate, and queen. Even the triggers considered "peaceful" can get tempermental especially with age and size, but again with that size tank it could be doable with the right triggers. JMHO

Yes they are, but keep in mind. You may start with 7-8 triggers and end up with one very well fed trigger, and a significant loss in investment.

Call me crazy, but I think in a 300 it's doable, I would advise staying away from the monster aggressive ones (Queen, Undy, Blueline, even Clown)....If you were to do it, this is the list I would do
Male Bluejaw
Female Bluejaw
Pinktail
Black Hawaiian
Lei
Halfmoon
Huma Huma
Rectangle Huma (introduce those 2 together)
Niger
There would be some squabbles, but I think they could co-exist

I agree! I have a huma huma in my tank and I have to specially distract him at feeding time (by throwing in a clam) so the other fish can eat. LOL. He is my favorite tho. LOTS of attitude!
