Trigger Tankmates?

Hello,
I ended up getting a 100G fish tank. It is 6FT X 18 X 18. I will be setting it up in a few months when I move. I currently have a 55G reef tank and it is going to stay that way. When I move into my own house I will have both tanks running.
In my new 100G I am going to have some kind of Trigger when I finally get to set it up. Probably a Niger or Blue Throat.
What other tankmates would work?

Smaller angels would work. Groupers, wrasses, smaller eels should be fine. Damsels would be ok. Tougher clowns should be ok, (like a maroon or tomato). Tangs, butterflies are ok. Stay away from filefish, batfish... slower fish with long fins. I'd probably do about 5 various fish in that tank.

Good ideas. I wasnt sure tangs and triggers got along.
So how does this sound.
1 trigger
A pair of maroon clowns
1 Yellow tang
1 wrasse
(I would really like a blue hippo tang but boy they just get to be too large)

i had a scopas tang in with a rectangular trigger and it seemed to stand its ground against the trigger really good. try to make sure the maroon clowns are young and introduced at the same time cuz they are a more aggressive clownfish.

I don't think a blue would be too big in a 72in long tank...What kind of Wrasse you thinking, I had a Lunare with a Humu and Niger, he "wrestled" with the Niger once in a while and held his ground very well.
