Re: Can multiple fish species coexist in a limited space?
I agree on the Tangs, yellow ones are fine, and Ctenochaetus genus is also good. A Chevron Tang is stunning if you're willing to spend the money. Reef-safe wrasses like Cirhillabrus, Pseudocheilinus, or Paracheilinus work well. Pseudochromis are also fine, and if you're feeling adventurous, a Niger Trigger could be an option - they're the calmest of the Triggers and mainly go after snails and shrimp.

I've got my heart set on a blue hippo tang, a yellow tang, a pair of clown fish - you know, the ones like Nemo. I'd also love to add another pair of clown fish, the black and white ones, if possible. And I'm definitely gonna throw in some coflakes. I'm planning to add these fish gradually, so I don't overwhelm my bio load. What do you guys think? I'll have around 110 pounds of rock in there, so I'm hoping that'll help with the load.

far as triggers go, i love triggers, could i keep a queen or clown trigger over the niger? i would assume if i took a trigger home it would get its own tank.

I figured triggers were a no-go, no big deal, just asked since it came up in convo. Thanks for the info, good to know.
