Help Me Out With my 75 FOWLR

[Packersfan21]

Ok, so I have a 75 fowlr thats been up for almost a year now. I eventually want this to be a predator/agressive fish tank, even though 75 gallons isn't exactly the idal size, but thats all i have to work with for now. Current fish list is as follows:

2x cinn clowns (getting rid of soon)
1x mimic tang
1x klein's butterlfyfish
1x niger trigger

The mimic tang has been picking on the butterfly quite a bit and probably going to get rid of both. The trigger used to always hide but is now starting to gain more confidence it seems. After a year he's only grown about an inch which brings him to about 3in. now, and kind of wondering when he will be full grown and if he will be too big for the tank.

The main thing I need help w/ though is planning out which fish I should get and it what order. The fish I'm considering are as follows:

1. Kole tang to replace mimic tang
2. red diana hogfish (don't really know much about them)
3. blue-spotted pufferfish (had one before but dissapeared one day and never saw it again)
4. lunare wrasse ( also don't know much about them
5. fuzzy dwarf lionfish
6. flame angelfish
7. snowflake eel ( I got a purple reef lobster in the tank will he eat it?)

That's all I can think of for now and I hope that isn't too many. I have a euroreef skimmer to handle the bioload so I hope i'm good. On a side note I'm having trouble keeping the sand clean even though I have three powerheads. Any suggestions?

I think that's pretty much it for now. I'll try and get pics up tommorow.


Thanks in advance,

-Matt

id be worried about the lionfish eating the flame, and the snowflake picking on the puffer cuase stress or death (fatal to your inhabitants).

I have a snowflake with my porcupine puffer and they get along fine. The eel spends his days in the rocks. I think I read somewhere that triggers and lions don't mix. I could be wrong on that one.

Thanks for the replies. I don't think a fuzzy dwarf lion would be problem unless I bought a really tiny flame angel which isn't likely. I could see the eel getting the pufferfish, since they swim kind of slow.

i just said id be worried about the eel and puffer cuase at a LFS a while ago while feeding a snowflake attacked a porcupine and held onto its tail for a few minutes. puffer was freaked and puffed up and so were the employees but i was laughing hard along with some club members lol. prob wasnt good for the puffer tho :/
