What to do with my tank

[stormbind]

I have a 75 gallon tank and was thinking about setting up an aggressive tank. I think that I want to put a lion and some triggers. I am open to any suggestions. Let me know what you guys think. Oh and would LR be good to have with an aggressive set up?

Yes live rock would be a good idea as aggresive fish need a place 2 call home to keep from trying to kill eachother but i would definately go with a juvenille clown trigger which u can get from this site right now for really cheap

yes i think a clown and a lion will go together, but you must remember that the clowns are very aggressive, if i was going to go with a trigger with a lion i would go with a huma, that seems to be what everyone puts with them, just no undulated triggers or queens and only one trigger for that tank. and LR would be fine. but i would go with a volitian lion, they get to big for a 75g

I'd definitely say go with live rocks. I won't regret it. I think clown triggers are neat.

lionfish
Snowflake eel
Orange toadfish
and a huma huma trigger

Everyone seems to like the eel. I don't think that I want to get one simply because my LFS told me that they are always getting out and they are a pain to keep in the tank.

I keep seeing the same thing posted here about eels escaping and my son who has a 3 footer in Florida had his get out (but he was home and saved it). My 2 so far have shown no desire to leave the tank but I still look down everytime I approch their tanks.

I am with pufflover, our snowflake as far as I know has never tried to get out, I donot sleep well and watch the tank at all hours, day and night. I feel snowy is the biggest atraction of our tank. Everyone that comes over just loves him, My nephue even calls me and asks hows he doing[ he is 5] it took me weeks to get it in his head that he is an eel and not a snake. He has a birthday coming up next month and, we are getting him the stuff to set up a 10 gallon saltwater with LS and LR wont take much for a 10 gallon, thinking of getting him a few chromis after the tank cycles, he really likes the clowns but I dont think the tank would be big enough, anythought on that...cya

i love my eel, he has never tried to escape. just make sure you have a good cover. picasso are nice, as are lions(antenna would be good). you could also look into wrasses, hamlets, squirrels an others. i would post more but i have to go now. later, bo
