Can't believe I am responding, but what in that article exactly are you doing right?
Is it the part where the author says a Queen Trigger should be in a 400 gallon by itself?
The part where the author says a Niger, Blueline, and Clown should be in at least 200 gallons and the Niger is the only one that should be kept with other fish?
Was it the part where he referred to the 2 inch Undy attacking the 15 inch grouper within 90 seconds of being in the tank, and the author's "dream tank" is a 120 gallon with a single Undy?
I must have missed the part where the author said "I recommend having 15 different Triggers in a 150 gallon tank, but only if 2 are Undulates" Where did he say that? "I think you should add 5 eels too and a WRASP (whatever the hell a wrasp is). I must have missed all that.
Did you really read the article?!?

I dont think he knows how to read (as can be seen by his spectacular grammer)
I love Wrasps...they are the newest hybrid that only survives when it is fed live feeders.

Shoot...I didn't know I had to end my post with a Big John McCarthy quote, "lets get it on" (btw...BJM was a UFC ref)!!!
But hey, triggers are aggressive fish so it figures people get all over each other talking about them :) Regardless, you guys can fight all you want, but just make sure you keep talking about the triggers!

A few anomalous occasions where people can get away with it for a short time (it’s happened) shouldn’t persuade you to try it – be warned! thats me!!!!!! on a island all alone the 1 % er!Fortunately there are species that usually do quite well when mixed with other tough marine species in large quarters. 180 is kind of small but will do for now have atleast a year or so

Great article. Just some slight issues here and there I'm not sure about, like saying all triggers should be the lasted introduced. If you purchase a small Xanthichthys-genus Trigger (under 4") they, IMO, should be one of first fish in.
The linked article in the text about Hinds was a fantastic read as well. Love the approach/stance he takes on them.

Funny...I saw that and thought the same thing based on what I had learned about my Sargassum from research.

I liked where the author said his dream tank was a 120 with an adult Undy by itself.
Me too.
