Possible 65 stocking?

[Andyjs]

I've been giving SW a try since August with my little Biocube 14 reef and things have been going well. Naturally, I already want a bigger saltwater setup. I have a 65 tall (36"X18"X24?") that my turtles are about to vacate and I'm considering options for its future. One thing I've thought about is a FOWLR tank.

Here are some fish I'd like to keep, but I'm not really sure which would fit in this tank or which would go well together:

-a small puffer (valentini or similar)
-small eel (snowflake maybe?)
-dwarf lion
-basically any type of hawk
-dwarf angel
-trigger? (any small enough for this tank size?)
-I also saw a hi hat drum that I thought was really cool, but really don't know anything about their care

So basically, out of this list, which ones would work, and what combination would allow me to keep the largest number of fish from this list?

Thanks in advance for the info

Take the trigger, and maybe the Hi hat of your list and your good( I don't know much about them)

Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking too. Those last two were just random things I thought might be cool.

Any other opinions?

I agree with nanoreefer.

Great, I actually did better than I thought. I was hoping (with the exception of those last two) that it would be a reasonable stock list, but I didn't have much faith in myself when it came to choosing compatible fish.

Hopefully at some point in the near future, I'll be a little less broke and I can make this happen.

I'd rethink the toby, as it will likely be a fin nipper, esp with the lionfish. If you want to give it a shot, be sure to get the lionfish first and get it eating and established, but you should have a "Plan B" just in case...

Ok, thanks. That was something I considered as well. Hopefully I'll get lucky and end up with a pretty docile one like my brackish puffer. I could try introducing the toby last and see how it works. I work in a fish store which is where I would most likely get the fish and could always take him back easily if there was a major issue.
