well Ive had my 120g tank running for about around 4 months, its fully cycled with a aquascaping, not quite sure how much rock but its got tons of little tunnels and such for fish to swim through and hide in and yet still lots of swimming room. It is my second tank and has 2 250w double ended and 2 t5s for lighting. I have an H&S skimmer and calcuim reactor. My tank currently houses:

a salfin blenny, a orange dimond goby, a flame angel (leaves coral alone), 3 chromis which will become loin food, a sallylight foot crab, an large arrow crab, some zoos, and a bubble coral.

I was wondering if the wonderful members of RC would be so kind as to give there comments and suggestions to my potientail fish list. also i was wondering if anyone could help me out with a few questions.

i also plan on adding some of the more hardy acros, more zoos possibly some caps. the rest of my leanup crew will consist of some starfish and turbo snails. I also have afew questions:

My number one consern is which corals these fish would limit me to keep?
Also which inverabrates these fish would limit me to keep?
My last question is besides from my chromis, would the rest of my fish be alrite with the new fish i am planing on adding?

the fish i really want to add are as following:
1 fu manchu lion
some sort of trigger, niger or crosshatch (maybe a pair)
a Tomini Tang


other fish i would like to keep provided there is room inclued:
a dwarf lion
Striated Angler or Assorted Angler
blue hippo tang
copper band butterfly, had one in my old, lasted a year and a half.
magestic angel

thankyou.
 
ooh, the lion and the trigger are going to make a huge impact on that tank and the trigger will ultimately outgrow your tank. As long as you can keep the water clean from these guys you can pretty much keep any invert you want barring shrimp/crabs. IMHO pass on the trigger and get the dwarf lion or the fu manchu. then you just have to make sure that the other fish wont fit in the lions mouth.
 
I personally wouldn't do the Niger trigger. i have seen to many instances where they will dig under rocks and destroy things
 
ite soo here is the current list of fish i would like to add in order of preferance:
1 fu manchu lion
blue throated trigger (maybe a pair)
a dwarf lion
majestic angel
Striated Angler or Assorted Angler
blue hippo tang

i was wondering where i should cut off the list and for any suggestions to the origonal post
 
really, so as a final stock list u think i can fit:
salfin blenny
orange dimond goby
flame angel
fu manchu lion
blue throated trigger (maybe a pair)
a dwarf lion
majestic angel
Striated Angler or Assorted Angler
blue hippo tang

i donno about u guys but i think that would be alittle overpacked for a 120 gallon
